>>14233432>an extra layer of pretentiousnessFalse. There's trash lit comparable in quality and target audience to generic Hollywood action/romance films just as there are video games that touch upon profound philosophical themes and that have very well developed characters. Reading books instead of playing video games could be a sign of being a cheapskate rather than of being pretentious. Alternatively, it could be the result of habits formed due to growing up in a house full of books or having gone to a school that had a huge library.
