I feel like the talk of conflict-less narratives is beside the point. The point isn't narratives that don't contain conflict. It's really impossible to set up a narrative that doesn't. The point is: what do we focus on? What's the center of the narrative experience?
For that, there's a lot more than just conflict. Porn stories, for example, are about arousal and erotica, not conflict per se. It's not that they don't contain conflict. It's that conflict isn't the point.
This makes Amphi go "facepalm"
because that's what I actually wanted to assert! Thanks for reading my brain, Ben.
