I flat stopped listening to any Moisés Chiullan podcast because of how often he’d say “If you aren’t reading Comic X, then shame on you!” If reading different books is a chiding offense, I’m out dude.
And it nearly always is accompanied by “You enjoy a thing I don’t, which makes you even more wrong. Reprioritize your life.” Somehow, magically, the “right” priorities are always the person making these statements.
