(Are you suggesting that Hofstadter deserves a similar status to e.g. Dostoyevsky? Are you insane or what? Look at the size of your faction, our faction, and think again.)
I’m not sure about this—the “Yay Hofstadter” team looks about as big as the “Yay Dostoyevsky” team, at least especially in the anglophone internet.
Bad example, perhaps. Try some big names from anglophone literature.
Shakespeare? Okay, maybe too old. Gone with the Wind? Something that is officially blessed and taught at schools as the literature. Something that perhaps not many people enjoy, but almost everyone perceives that is has an officially high status. The thing you suggest should be replaced by Hofstadter.
