So when it was announced that Where the Wild Things Are was being turned into a feature film, white people didn’t immediately get excited at the prospect of this film, in fact a great number of white people cringed when they first heard it was being turned into a movie. Literally dozens of white friendships have imploded when it was revealed that someone read Fight Club after 1999. To have read the book after the movie is one of the great crimes in white culture, and under no circumstances should you ever admit to doing this. But more importantly, once a book has been made into a movie, a white person can no longer read that book. This is done partly so that they can engage in the popular activity of complaining about how the movie failed to capture the essence of the book. The other problem is that these announcements create a ticking time bomb where by a white person must read the book in ADVANCE of the release of the movie. This is partly due to their fear that something they love will be made accessible to more people and thus enjoyed by more people which immediately decreases the amount of joy a white person can feel towards the original property. It is a guarantee that whenever it is announced that a popular book is being turned into a movie, white people will get upset.
