Don’t be silly.

Sorry to horrify you but we are definitely worse.

Boom, downvoted for being aware that 95% of violent criminals are male and domestic abuse is no different.

Yes. Everyone should listen to everyone else. And as a man, I promise you women have it wayyyyyy worse. I definitely won the gender lottery. Sorry ladies and Godspeed.

So of all the fucking things to restrict, why this? Facebook is a hundred times more dangerous than any porn. Ban that shit instead.

Yeah it’s fucked up

Fair enough. I don’t begrudge your enjoyment.

You expressed surprise that Herbert is a rabid conservative. I pointed out that the book you claim to like is a celebration of fascism.

Yeah, but that isn’t why people like it.

Correct. People like Dune because it’s the biggest book they’ve read, not because they were paying attention to the prose or narrative quality of its insane plot.

The story glorifies a eugenically engineered monarchy and waxes poetic about the evils of homosexuality.

Ironic comment, since Dune’s story is supernatural nonsense written by a misogynistic homophobe who probably does think the Bible is the greatest book of all time.

Yes, but the book also became really popular among the Gen X crowd, whose hunger for sci fi was fueled by things like Star Wars.

If you think Dune is well-written, wait until you read a modern sci-fi novel. The shittiest space opera would probably blow your mind.

Although the movies are better than the books, the actual story is spectacularly awful. Have you ever had someone try to explain it to you? It’s unhinged. And the book is so poorly written from a literary perspective. Dune is Twilight for Gen-X’ers.

Frank Herbert is such a narcissist he actually accused Star Wars of ripping him off.

It’s a relief then that Dune is one of the dumbest fucking stories of all time and casting doesn’t matter.

Since you missed it, let me explain the joke. Ahem: Kylie Jenner is a despicable billionaire who exploits poor girls for money. Touching anything that she has touched, including a hot guy, is disgusting. That’s the joke.

They’re just using the terminology that’s widespread in the field. In a sense, the paper’s purpose is to prove that this terminology is unsuitable.
