[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 9606257, member: 177"] Not a fan of [I]Calvin and Hobbes[/I], then? Cartoons can contain much truth. While we can talk about the presentation of arguments about [I]individual[/I] works, those discussions do not enlighten us on "the industry" as a whole. The point about the entire genre narrowing from a publishing standpoint is a different kind of question, one that we should, at least in theory, be able to measure, rather than rely on feelings. Do you care to be more clear about what you think "the industry" is, what it means for it to "narrow", and what your basis for the impression might be? To me, the industry isn't narrowing if works of various outlooks are still making it to the public - books get published, visual media makes it to screens, and so on. Critics and social media responses are not "the industry". So, as I said - Correia and his like are still getting published, alongside authors with quite differing viewpoints. How is that "narrowing"? [/QUOTE]
