Sure when teenage girls write self-insert characters that hang out with their faves it’s “cringey” and “bad fanfiction” but when Dante does it it’s a “literary classic” and “redefines the way we view Catholicism”

Legiterally Dante Alighieri, a 45-year-old man, wrote a scene where he’s all “And then I was in Hell with my fave Virgil and then all his friends said I was really cool and they asked me to join their squad and be their friend :)” and everyone is just like “Yes this is peak literature”
