  Yes, actually. Hiding in an online forum and spouting criticism is cheap and cowardly. Writing great books uder your own name takes talent, time, energy and courage.

  Checkmate, insect.

    if you look down on anonymous discussion, and see it as cheap and cowardly, what the fuck are you even doing here on lemmy in the first place?!

      I look down on anonymous criticism of great artists. I look down on membership in the oitrage mob. I look down on that damn mediocrity and pettiness.

      Perhaps you misread.

        Lemmy is not an anonymous community, it’s pseudonymous. It also doesn’t take a literary genius, merely someone with a healthy amount of empathy, to understand that treating someone with hatred for an immutable characteristic is bigoted and wrong. I don’t believe that to be an outrageous opinion.

        Perhaps it is you that is mediocre and petty.

      Anonymous criticism is lhe least effort contribution to the conversation. Playing your part in the outrage mob takes the leat intelligence, the least inspiration. So when you do that, when you shout in chorus with the rest of the mob like that, you show yourself to be very very small. Like a crawling worm.

      And when you get out there and put the best youve got into a piece of art that blows the minds of an entire generation, you show yourself to be very very large. Like a soaring eagle.

      And for a worm to criticise an eagle is absurd.

        LMAO

        The lady who came up with the “slavery is good actually” race of people isn’t who I would call an Eagle.
