It's more the tone. People can discuss whether a book is good or not. Talk about the quality of writing, the plot, character development etc.
But that doesn't mean that people should go around knocking whole genre's as junk, and implying that people who read romance, fantasy etc. and not classic literature are simpletons who are rotting their minds.
That's a bunch of pretentious horse shit IMO. Just a way for pompous asses to act like their tastes are superior.
I'm into movies like most of you bookworms are into reading. But I don't go around bashing people who only watch popcorn action flicks and nothing else.
