Plenty of people have told "original" stories.
My remark was self indulgent and totally as[s]inine, but I'm just saying something too, where's my pass?
The internet doesn't act as a single cohesive entity.
Stories that are popular can be legal rip offs from something that is vaguely similar but never gained much exposure. So, what?
"I told a story that the world is familiar with and has sufficient relevance to the issues of today but nobody heeded the warning"
"uhh, yeah, but it wasn't original"
Sorry, I guess you probably have made a significant contribution that's relevant to this glaring issue in society that we're all trying to come to grips with?
No, but a significant portion of it does act as a single, cohesive entity. Enough to perpetuate memes into popularity that glorify one and simultaneously villify another.
That's self evident.
