This meme is a screenshot of a tweet by author and comedian John Scalzi, which quotes a review of his book "Old Man's War" from a reviewer who claims to be a "literary critic" who is actually a troll. The reviewer's review is a sarcastic and humorous rant about the book, criticizing its science fiction elements and Scalzi's writing style. The tweet is captioned "Literary Critic: 'I have read your book and I am not reading it again. I am not going to give it another thought. I am not going to give it another thought. I am not going to give it another thought.'"

— ey = =) Jacob deNobel 4 ae )) th449 @Jacob_deNobel Roger Ebert just absolutely bodying an entire subset of nerds “A lot of fans are basically fans of fandom itself. It's all about them, They have mastered the Star Wars or Star Trek universes or whatever, but their objects of veneration are useful mainly as a backdrop to their own devotion. Anyone who would camp out in a tent on the sidewalk for weeks in order to be first in line for a movie is more into camping on the sidewalk than movies. Extreme fandom may serve as a security blanket for the socially inept, who use its extreme structure as a substitute for social skills. If you are Luke Skywalker and she is Princess Leia, you already know what to say to each other, which is so much safer than having to ad lib it. Your fannish obsession is your beard. If you know absolutely all the trivia about your cubbyhole of pop culture, it saves you from having to know anything about anything else. That's why it's excruciatingly boring to talk to such people: They're always asking you questions they know the answer to.” 5:05 PM - 5/13/20 - Twitter Web App 7,821 Retweets 38.3K Likes
