You will notice that either directly or subtly, evil always seeks to possess your capacity to relate. Its target is always the relationship. Whether through general alienation, lack of time or under the guise of “mental health.” When loneliness begins to weigh so heavily that you consider being “back in the market”, it will seek to make relationships embarrassing, disgusting, humiliating or “low status.” Smother people with affection & relational consistency. Terrify the demons.
"having a bf is embarrassing" "sex with men is disgusting, and humiliating for women" we are seeing levels of anti social behavior never before witnessed

i wouldnt say that's my sole intended effect, but that's just me, the author
"Gawk-lit" refers to books that depict the shallowness and stupidity of contemporary people with the sole intended effect being "look how shallow and stupid these people are." See, for instance, The Sleepers by Matthew Gasda TV equivalent is The White Lotus

we're chill
What’s up with the huge demographic of older american millennial readers who love Pynchon, Zadie Smith, Delillo, McCarthy, etc. but haven’t kept up with literature since then? This is one of the most prominent “literary types” I meet irl.
