impyHad post planned. Brain cannot string words together properly due to background noise. So sorry if nothing makes sense.
However, why is it that everyone in the BSC fandom STILL has a problem believing Claudia's mother wouldn't be big on her reading fluff? I mean, yes, in theory she's a librarian and should be pro-books, yay! So on that front, I get it. But the people going on about it never seem to realize that in general, some parents are giant snobs about reading. I guess it makes sense because if you're a BSC fan, your parent(s) let you read fluff. But one of my best friends growing up didn't read anything that wasn't a classic, assigned reading, or something that would later be declared a classic. And it wasn't her choice- her parents might not have banned fluff but it was understood that you just didn't read beneath your level. Her little sister, however, got around that by inhaling the SVH TV show so, y'know, loopholes could be found.
But seriously, these people never had strict parents anywhere in their orbit? Mine didn't care too much but I definitely had friends whose parents did. So, in short, I get the people who have a problem with librarian Mrs. Kishi being the one with the book problem but get the overall concept of book snobbery, but I don't get the people who don't seem to believe that book snobbery exists at all.

Date: 2019-09-26 12:23 pm (UTC)I like the idea that it was another way of her family not thinking she's applying herself. I can also get on board with trickery.
But book snobbery has always been a thing and yet in these discussions it's always just waved away like "nah, that can't possibly be it."
