A pretentious, postmodern jerk-off idea, popular among some academics, that says that the creator of an artistic work is irrelevant to the work, that their thought processes and intentions in creating the work don't matter, that they are not an authority on the very thing that they created, and that YOU, the passive consumer of the work, are more qualified to know what the work is about than they are, who put tons of hard work and effort into creating it.
Who does this "Ray Bradbury" person think he is, saying that Fahrenheit 451 is about how nobody reads books anymore? *I* say it's about censorship, dammit! What does HE know, he only wrote the damn thing! Death of the author says that creators are just passive, empty vessels through which the Divine Muse speaks!

Get the death of the author mug.Except I'm going to heaven forever! My behavior has been preemptively forgiven as a form of cosmic get-out-of-jail-free card. I'm the good one. And my reward is paradisal bliss forever.
Hym "It's not my death I have the problem with; it's the 'navigating lunatics who are complicit in my demise while I wait patiently to die part' that keeps me up at night. And that's why the school shootings. Because it's not that you're not protecting them hard enough and it's not that everyone need to collectively agree to give up their rights; It's that if stopping a school shooting has a result OTHER THAN the death of the would-be shooter you'd rather let the chips fall where they may then be complicit in a solution that benefits someone who doesn't deserve the help they would ultimately receive as a byproduct of an intervationary procedure."

Get the Death grip to deft tones mug.(Verb) The action of getting stuck scrolling social media for hours on end, sometimes becoming impossible to stop. The victim often loses track of time, forgets tasks, and eventually numbs their brain into a deep fog. Often times the content is considered “Brain Rot” and the user’s vision can even become impaired, feeling as though they are several feet from the screen. Can be a common side effect of ADD/ADHD.
I was supposed to get all my laundry done today but I was caught in a Death Scroll on TikTok so I guess i’ll have to do it tomorrow.
