Where do academic pieces/texts with multiple authors fall? Do I need to achieve a certain ratio of ethnicity/sexual orientation for it to be kosher? Also this Goosebumps-knockoff teen novel claims to have been written by a monster, does it get a pass?

This seems like an interesting thing to do and may result in seeing some different perspectives, so if people want to do it that's fine, but the funny part is to pretend doing this personally is some kind of politically meaningful/revolutionary action.

I know that a lot of people like her, but I hate everything I've ever read by Margaret Atwood. I don't think she'd be popular if she weren't a woman, or at least would be sort of remembered for A Handmaid's Tale, maybe What do I know though

You spend the whole drat time with this loser who wants to gently caress a girl he saw in some child porn on the internet, and then in the last like, 45 pages you find out that interesting things were happening fifty feet to the left that you didn't get to see. Who wants to read about a crazy brilliant scientist trying to engineer a race of perfect people, when you could be reading about a boring guy being sad after sex.

Yeah, she's not a good author, but somehow she's an even worse poet.

But the cishet honky mans' opinion is the only one that matters, so challenge denied. Real talk: I am not a bigot but reading about gay sex holds just about as much interest for me as gsy porn. None. I don't care how gay or female the author is, graphic depictions of gays railing each other kinda grosses me out. If they are just a couple doing interesting protagonist things I'm ok. Juliette McKinna's Thief's Gamble is what I mean.

I avoid reading anything by human being assholes that use the term Cis. Virtually everything written before 2010 is viable. I'm bisexual. I've recieved plenty of abuse for that, but never started hating people for being straight/normal. I hate people and things that are stupid. "Cis" is stupid. So stupid. Eat poo poo OP.
