I don't think reading = depth or intelligence.
Well, I dont claim its equal. But from my experience with other people and myself reading is big plus. It helps you undestand how things and history "works", motivation, differencies, it makes you more open, more inventive… many things you can relate to depth and intelligence. It also demands something from reader - patience, thinking, basic insight etc. Note - lore is mostly presented in books so you need to read and to have some patience and basic undestanding to grasp it. So if someone HATES reading its strong sign he avoids this depth or thinking or imagination… It upsets him for some reason and this reason is definitely not the atmosphere or love for voices. Maybe he is able to overcome it with time… but until that he wont probably pay much attention to these things I mentioned in my first post.
You are partially right that different presentation may help. But as I said to prefer VO (or different presentation) for whatever reason is NOT the same as hate. For me its very different group. And I doubt that these "haters" are in fact inventive or thoughtful people if they watch attractive movie for example. These things are related.
It still seems to me that you think I wrote about all people who prefer VO. It wasnt really my intent.
but things are looking much better these days, because of the way the Kickstarter model has taken off.
Agreed.
