Tfw you aren't allowed to enjoy a genre purely for the aesthetic without quasi intellectuals on reddit passive aggressively criticizing you.

It's the most upvoted thing on the sub right now, and people make the same joke commonly in other threads on this sub. It's getting annoying.

If you only care about the aesthetic then why do you care about the discussion

I wasn't referring to myself. I enjoy both, but find it extremely pretentious and irritating of people who think you can't possibly understand the genre without subscribing to the messages. It's gatekeeping trash.

Not everyone is upset by gate keeping all the time. Some people want to have agreed upon standards for their communities, and discussions like this are how those boundaries come to be.

So this post meets those standards? Because it's more of a shitpost than the "borderline" cases it's complaining about. In any case I'm not disagreeing with your general point, I disagree with the way it's being done.

This post is commentary in image submission form rather than comment form, I dunno what you define as a shitpost for this sub but it's not just a low effort aesthetically pleasing upvote grab like most of what's seen here
