“Let People Enjoy Things” Is Ending Book Discourse

“Let People Enjoy Things” Is Ending Book Discourse "Let people enjoy things!" It's a phrase you've probably seen all over BookTok, BookTube, and in the comment sections of every popular book review. But what happens when that phrase gets weaponized to shut down thoughtful critique, analysis, and deep discussion?

In this video, we’re diving into the rise of anti-intellectualism in the online book community. From passive-aggressive responses to critical reviews, to the obsession with reading as a personality or competition, we’re asking the question: Is the bookish internet becoming hostile to readers who want to go deeper?

This isn’t about genre snobbery. It’s about making space for all kinds of readers—including the ones who love to analyze, question, and be challenged.

If you've ever been told you're "overthinking" a book, or felt like critical engagement is discouraged in favor of vibes and validation, this one's for you.

Let’s talk about it in the comments. Have you noticed this too? #BookTok #BookTube #BookCommunity #ReadingDiscourse #CriticalReading #bookanalysis
