All fiction needs to be taken both seriusly and not seriously.

Seriously because even the silliest of art can change minds.

Not seriously because no matter the delusions of the author, or the tone of the work, it's still fiction; entertainment, simulated on an human brain.

Everything needs to be taken both seriously and not-seriously. Tepid unreflective semi-seriousness is always a mistake.
