This post has been removed because the title does not say enough about its subject. This forces people to click and read before they can decide whether they are interested. It also makes searching impossible.

If everyone did this, the subreddit would become unusable.

So please don't do it in future. Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.

When making a title, it's best to assume the reader doesn't know what you're talking about - but don't go overboard with every detail. Then check if there are any words you can cut out without losing any important information.

Please post this again, with a more informative title.

Yeah, that's pretty silly.

Firstly, something can be your favorite book or movie without that implying an endorsement of the main character's actions and opinions.

Secondly, this smooths over an awful lot of complexity in and differences between the characters in those works of fiction. Are we really saying that Holden Caulfield is in the same category as Walter White?

Thirdly, shall we apply the same logic to some books written for women? In many of those books (The Color Purple, for instance or The Power, or The Women's Room) male characters exist only as a bundle of stereotypes and negative projections. There are, I assume, plenty of women who would list those works and others like them as their favorites. Should we run from all of them? How about the women who loved Fifty Shades of Grey: are we to assume that we can draw a direct line between their taste in light reading their beliefs priorities and motivations?

Or should we just assume that people sometimes like works of fiction for complex reasons and that this need not be any deep reflection on their character, you know, as if we were adults?

TLDR: OP in the screenshot is shallow and posturing. This is probably because she is young and I imagine she will grow out of it.

Did she notice that in most of those examples the protagonist either dies or loses everything? Can't a guy just enjoy a crazy morality tale?

Why are stupid people so good at projecting their stupidity onto others? Some people, that is literally the only thing in life they will ever be good at.
