       I’m actually fine with it, I’m glad people maintain their way of life out here. It just gives me a chuckle and smile when I see the remnants of true American culture out here.

       @borzoi Reminds me of being a kid and certain kids weren't allowed because muh witchcraft. The more ones were the ones allowed but they could only be biblical figures or saints.

       @borzoi I'm nostalgic for the old ladies who use to make candied apples and give them out to kids, oblivious to the paranoia Boomers had about razor blades hidden in them thanks to media fearmongering. They're all dead now.

       @ThatGuyBosch @borzoi My cousin got in trouble in elementary school for D'n'D. His teacher confiscated his books and my aunt had to meet with the principle who was deeply concerned about him dabbling in Satanism. She just laughed and said all it was doing was teaching him how to do math.

       @LouisConde @ThatGuyBosch @borzoi Had a teacher tell my mom that me reading fantasy books was gonna make me blur the line between reality and fiction This was in 99. After that i would find the craziest fantasy book covers and read them in her class.

       @ThatGuyBosch @LouisConde @borzoi harry potter was good for kid getting into reading. The problem is they only read that one book over and over again.

       @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @LouisConde @borzoi Cook was popular in the service. Never read Modessitt. Pullnam did a better YA series -- His Dark Materials. I thought that was more interesting and definitely more A than Y.

       @wildgoose999 @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @ThatGuyBosch @borzoi Don't get me wrong, I read Harry Potter too and appreciated them as decent stories. I still think they're decent for what they are. My only real issue is the insane subset of the fandom that emerged who never bothered to read another book after the Deathly Hallows came out.

       @Becassine @wildgoose999 @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @ThatGuyBosch @borzoi I used to think the people who read only Steven King novels and thought they were well read were blowhards but they at least had more variety than the Potterheads.

       @wildgoose999 @Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @ThatGuyBosch @borzoi >I don't know who these people are who only read Harry Potter and never read any other bookMost of them were the kids who always whined about assigned reading and used to beg the teacher about just watching the movie instead. For some reason a sizeable portion of them liked Harry Potter.

       @wildgoose999 @LouisConde @ThatGuyBosch @borzoi I got detention multiple times for reading in class i know the struggle. I had friends in school that were amazed that i read a book or two a week in school. The read books as the film came out much like the lord of the rings films. Hell out of my group of friends i only knew two people that read it LOTR before the films came out.
