I tend to confuse subtext and context.
I'm meaning subtext, when I say context. My bad.

#167 - scootabot (07/21/2017) [-]

When they say, "The book is scary."
What they mean is, "The story within the book is scary."

You're completely missing on all context by calling the book scary, it implies that the book itself is scary.

Books cannot be scary.
Books cannot be racist.

When they say that a book is racist, they mean the story in the book is racist. Or the message in the book is racist. That does not make the book racist.

People say, "That book is racist."
By that, they mean, "The message within the book is racist."

They don't literally mean the book is racist.
I'm done arguing semantics with you.

Books cannot literally be racist.
Books cannot literally be scary.

They aren't literally talking about the book.
They're talking about the story within the book.

Of course they aren't literally talking about the book. It's still correct to say, 'The book is scary'.

And that's what they said. Correctly.

What you are saying, is that they are wrong. But you can't cited anything that would make me believe you.

Books. Cannot. Be. Scary.
The stories within them are scary.
If you're scared of books, I'd suggest seeing a therapist.

If you take the same story from a book and put it on, say, an electronic tablet, does that make the electronic tablet scary, now? If the story moves about and is read on different mediums, does that make whatever it lands on scary? No. The story is scary. Not the object it's on.

Christ.

I'll be perfectly honest, I can't figure out if you are just trolling me, or if you're like a Russian guy that moved to the US and are still learning English or something.

Adjectives describe things. And not necessarily in a literal sense.

The reason I can find you thousands of websites/blogs/articles that describe books or stories or movies as 'scary' is because English isn't always literal.

When someone says 'That book is scary' they usually mean that the content inside might be scary. But it's STILL CORRECT to say that the book is scary. Everyone knows what is meant by it.

There are lots and lots of examples of other non-literally idioms or word usage in English. If I say, 'Hold on for a minute' - it doesn't mean that you need to literally grab or hold something. Nor does it mean that I'll continue in exactly a minute.

Saying that a book is 'scary' when written words/pictures/content inside is 'scary' is an entirely acceptable and normal usage.

If you are being serious, you might want to check out english.stackexchange.com/ and post this as a question there, you'll get a definitive answer; though I think you'll be disappointed.

Still, aside from my being an asshole, maybe check it out and post there. You can come back and really rip me a new one when it turns out you are right....
