    ITT: the lightest possible pop culture shlock available.

    Why am I not shocked.

    “STAR WARS REVENGE OF THE SITH CHANGED MY LIFE. And Enid Blyton- how did that woman never win a Nobel prize? Because she’s a woman, what else?! The staggering philosophical depth is something only true intellectuals can understand.”

      A work of fiction does not need to be the peak of human writing and intellectualism to still change the way a person thinks about the world, though. Honestly, it could actually be actual trash but mean something to you, having consumed it at the right time and place.

      We are all in different places in life and some are “further” than others and may need more help to reach what may be a “simple” answer to you due to being less intelligent or being born into worse circumstances etc.
