Then why do you care if it wasn’t better back then? I don’t need them but I have enough empathy to understand that others might.

I just read the cheaper version which happens to be in English most of the time.

That’s such a dumb argument. Just because it was like that in the past doesn’t mean it was better.

Why does such a seemingly harmless question always spark such a dumb debate? Would you really recommend that a veteran with severe PTSD read a war novel? Why do you think that would help them deal with their problems on their own? Therapy exists because it’s so hard to deal with your own problems.

If someone doesn’t want to read fantasy, you can accept that, but if someone doesn’t want to read about certain topics, that’s suddenly a big deal. I really don’t see the difference here.
