legitimately, what's the point of any art relating to the "coming of age"? what's the point of this art besides basically bragging about how its creators did in fact have a coming of age, and that there's losers (like me) who didn't?
<its for people who didn't to experience-
no. that's not how the world works. voyeuristically witnessing yet more of what you're starved of is not anything close to a medicine. it is a form of inhuman torture. it's liek forcing a starving african to watch a goddamn mukbang or some shit.
>>675047It's called escapism idiot. It allows you to live vicariously through a fictional individual.
>s liek forcing a starving african to watch a goddamn mukbang or some shit.No one is forcing you to watch shit. Maybe watch some tragedies if that's how you feel. Even better, maybe watch some documentaries about the horrible ordeals many go through and their terrible unbeatable circumstances.
>>675049This.
I find it amazing how people are willing to condemn any positive portrayal of coming of age media but are ok with even more idealistic media about happy marriage or rags-to-riches success stories.
>>67518440 year old virgin is brutal because the dude has his own apartment, a job, and one that pays well enough for him to engage in all sorts of hobbies like miniature painting and even has a gaming chair in 2004
but somehow his life still fucking sucks because he never got pussy
>>675189>Same for stories about traveling: chances are the author has never been to wherever the characters go to and they're just exploring the concept of that place the author has in their head, most certainly so in fantasy and historical settings.this is true for most of them, but you then got tolkien who did go out and also wrote about war while also being a war veteran who lost friends
at the same time, you got robert e howard, who never left texas
One think about it L Ron Hubbard. Most of his old sci-fi stories were about meek wimpy nerds, but other authors would talk about how they were surprised to see he was pretty big and outgoing irl and was more into western stories

>>675233COVID lockdown lasted one year
>>675089Wrong. The most overplayed trope is the awkward man meets girl.
>>675199>>675233>>675209Plot twist: people who whine about coming of age are actually jealous and are bitter about growing up.
That's why manchildren are a growing popular TV genre
I mean there's the show "Adults"
>>675194That's sad. Having all the financial and career prospects but you still cannot get over not getting laid.
>>675047"Coming of Age" just means growing up. You didn't "miss out" on anything. You're just a loser, but you came of age like everyone else. It doesn't refer to something specific. What are you even talking about? Do you think it's a virgin thing and you're an incel?
Coming of age doesn't mean getting laid. It just means transitioning from a child to and adult, and everyone does that. Even you.
>>675071I heard that in Barney Gumble's voice, like when he said "Uh oh, my heart just stopped!"
My cock just popped!

>>679711I actually hate those because they hate happiness and sincerity. They hate the idea of anyone not being miserable alongside them.
We already have plenty of those in adult comedy anyway.
The Trailer Park Boys, which is in the OP pic for example.
>>679272Well there are reasons to not get laid.
To avoid bastard children, STDs, and false retrospection of rape if you do become famous.
Women do end up with buyers remorse when it comes to casual sex.
