There's a point at the start of every Alice's Adventures in Wonderland adaptation that feels so much like a text adventure. ">Drink the bottle. You drink from the bottle and find yourself shrunken to the size of a dormouse. Now you can fit through that door! >Go through door. You can't go through; you left the key on the table! >Eat cake. You grow to five times your regular size, banging your head on the ceiling." etc. etc.

@thelastgherkin I never undestood how a story can suck so hard and yet have countless adaptations.

@chemicalbrony No, that one is carfully crafted to meet the expectations of a specific demographic.

@nerthos Schoolteachers decided to torture kids with them and some kids took it the wrong way and thought they were legitimately good. I think that's why my school made us read Jane Eyre as sophomores.

@redenchilada Good point. Schoolteachers choose their books with sadism in mind.

@nerthos @redenchilada I think that's the reason many kids don't read nowadays. They have no experience with literature, and at school the teachers make them read legitimatey awful works, leaving a bad impression on them.

@nerthos I enjoy the story terribly much, it's just that without living in the nineteenth century, all the context of the satire and nonsense is completely shot. Which is, ironically, its enduring popularity: vivid images, literal (and literary) nonsense, and just enough comprehension as a story to make a sort of sense. It's like how Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff will keeps hapening on long after Homestuck is finished.

@thelastgherkin I think that's why I don't like it. Nineteenth century UK wasn't one of the most appealing historical contexts IMO, and I dislike nonsense and ridiculousness at that level, when it looks like the whole story is an acid trip. In short, things I dislike ambientated in a culture I'm not fond of.

@datponygotvtec Alice in Wonderland. 50 shades has no adaptations, only parodies.

@datponygotvtec Thanks.

@datponygotvtec If you're into conspiracy theories, or at least social engineering, that's called adoctrinating. Deliberately sending forward bad examples and banning the good ones to discourage people, so they don't read and therefore keeping them from learning things that could make them harder to control.
