Dude, who even knows.

Summarized, I guess my complaint about Freddie deBoer is
“He values substance in writing, and believes that too much writing today substitutes style in its place, and that’s true and important. But while he *says* he values style, and thinks it has a place, you sure wouldn’t guess it from reading him.”
(You could say he substitutes substance ABOUT style in its place.)
“freddie deboer substitutes substance about style for substance” is probably the best concise description of that guy i’ve seen
that is the exact opposite of what I said
were you saying that he substitutes substance for substance about style?
that he put substance about style in the slot where style should’ve gone.
his writing voice’s changed since then, a lot these past few months, that’s not a criticism I’d make today.
