I can easily believe that fandom cares a lot more about bread than Valjean. (Honestly, I can easily believe that Javert cares more about The Bread Incident than Valjean. Valjean seems like he's pretty much over it, honestly. But I suspect Valjean would still value bread-qua-bread, as sustenance and as symbol, the way someone does who knows what it is to be short of it.) (Actually given the importance of the price of bread to Paris insurrections, I can easily believe that the Amis care deeply about the symbolic and cultural value of bread, now I kind of want to challenge somebody to write that bread!porn...)
