Eh? It's an accusation of spending real and mental resources for pure entertainment, distraction, escape from the real world, which does have indeed some imprisoning features. And, well, it's not really true, because that entertainment isn't pure; any successful adult fantastic fiction has depth to it, presents moral choices and/or delves into the workings of the real world artistically.
