Older women in my family—with the best of intentions, have pleaded with me to overlook abusive, violent men at home because men just can't help the way they are and it's a woman's job to forget and make peace.
These are people that fundamentally don't think they have a right to baseline respect in their own homes by the people who supposedly loved them most. They'd need a decade's worth of therapy just to find their best interests, and then another to act on them.
Ugh. What will it take for Hillary to stop fucking up elections?
No. The first post was regretful that these books would get a boom in interest from their prohibition albeit of the low quality of their content—granted said like an ass, but, welcome to the internet.
You keep conflating low quality with shame. In a way that's increasingly reading as bit autobiographic. Like whatever you like—liking a thing doesn't excuse it from criticism. Yeah, I'd prefer the zeitgeist steer kids into reading better crafted works and not to mass marketed soulless trash. Is this really a problematic stance? Calling me a pretentious twat and an elitist because I am critical of a book series that ...you apparently never read? (I got up until the point when sheltered girl is abducted from abusive English garden boy by dark and brooding but misunderstood wing guy.) Tons of fantastical young adult books are written fantastically. But so far not by Maas.
Repeatedly said the exact opposite my guy. But as an artist, bad artists that phone it in=not as worthy? Yeah. I like this hill. It is verdant and good. Making good shit is hard. It would nice to live in a world where that effort was valued. You seem very earnest. I wish you the best with your Twilight vanilla fairy melodramas.
But I shat on the Court of Whatever series because it is not well written, and then you implied I should be ashamed for shaming people because all reading was great and equal, and then I gave an example how I didn't believe that necessarily to be true. The whole point is they could be discovering a better book if Terry Pratchett would have put more smutty bits in Tiffany Aching.
Maas is over-saturated and sucking the oxygen out of the room for people writing better things in the same genre. l will* die on that molehill. Any day of the week. Twice on Saturdays.
And as a side note, I like trashy novels? But its disingenuous to throw Court of Mist and Fury up against Anna Karenina and say these are equal works. Like whatever you like—it's fun to read self indulgent stuff, but also remember it is good to challenge yourself a bit from time to time.
I also like terrible things. It doesn't make them less bad.
Sigh. Way to guarantee all the young adults are going to read the Twilight of shitty vanilla fairy melodramas.
Our principal had no sense of humor and would've either: sent you home, made you wear it inside out, or duct taped over the offening four letter words. God forbid you dye your hair or get a face piercing.
Why yes, I believe he is.
Its good for trans kids, but also we should be doing it just to normalize menstrual products. I remember being a young teen and driven to the grocery store so I could shuffle in, bent over double with pain to buy what I needed because my father didn't want to be seen touching the package. Seems a small price to destigmatize it.
Wait. There are places where your primary party is not public knowledge when you vote? Fuuuck. (it's usually a fire hall, not a lodge in my experience.)
