“What does a scanner see? he asked himself. I mean, really see? Into the head? Down into the heart? Does a passive infrared scanner like they used to use or a cube-type holo-scanner like they use these days, the latest thing, see into me - into us - clearly or darkly? I hope it does, he thought, see clearly, because I can’t any longer these days see into myself. I see only murk. Murk outside; murk inside. I hope, for everyone’s sake, the scanners do better. Because, he thought, if the scanner sees only darkly, the way I myself do, then we are cursed, cursed again and like we have been continually, and we’ll wind up dead this way, knowing very little and getting that little fragment wrong too.

 Philip K. Dick, A Scanner Darkly (via scifi-fantasy-horror)

My theory is that most adults (25+) still making work in creative spheres informed by teenage girls had really shitty high school experiences and feel robbed of being able to live an idyllic girlhood so they try to live it through their work. But the creepy thing about this is that half the people writing for rookie now are adults, talking to teenage girls about sex and infantilizing themselves to relate to an audience they presume dumb rather than just trying to speak to girls with respect like adults. I’m really put off by any adult artist or writer who never grows out of that sphere of visual and linguistic communication.
