I think she’s saying that everything is inherently political, which to a certain extent I think is true.

i agree with this in a sense. perception is reality. but i’m not saying political in that way. more like the action of reading and interpretation is shaped by identity, culture, power structures, etc, that is more what i meant. our perceptions are shaped by social and political contexts so reading (and any art form) can’t really be separated from that

i also read for enjoyment (who doesn’t lol?) i also think sci fi and fantasy are the usually the most political books…even though they are fiction they are obviously a reflection of society. i think with the genre of romantasy coming into play ppl often forget the main plot is usually about overthrowing some kind of government or rebuilding a dystopian system (idk i don’t read fantasy or sci fi)
