In Ender's Game, why did the Battle School use their most brilliant strategist to commit genocide against an alien race instead of waging a war on poverty?

MiracleWhale posted:applewhite your posts itt are very good, thanks for the lols Somebody needs to ask the tough questions. Nathaniel Bowditch has a lot to say about the weather but in the 879 pages of The American Practical Navigator there's no mention of climate change? Really?? He's automatically betrayed the reader's trust by compromising his integrity to push a neoconservative agenda, how can I believe anything he says about the angle of the sun's meridian?

Applewhite posted:Someone should have told T.H White that there are already too many stories about Knights and chivalry where male heroes rescue stereotypical damsels in distress. He could have at least put a spin on it. Why couldn't King Arthur have been a woman? See you joke, but Sylvia Townsend Warner totally pushed her bias on this back in the day. All going on about how the lack of strong female characters implicate his own homosexuality, doing it before the kids on tumblr made it cool.

I find the cultural appropriation of scalping by the Glanton gang in Blood Meridian to be extremely problematic.

In The Caine Mutiny, ENS Keith precipitates a mutiny against Captain Queeg on the grounds that Queeg is mentally ill and thus unfit for command. Throughout the book, the crew make deprecating and ableist remarks against Queeg's eccentric behavior. When the XO spoke up against the insulting comments, I was elated, because I thought finally someone would tell the crew off for being ignorant and bigoted, but he did nothing of the kind! The XO treated the implication that Queeg was mentally ill as if it were some sort of insult! Herman Wouk should be ashamed for contributing to the stigmatization and ostracization of the neurologically atypical. ENS Keith should have incited a mutiny against social stigma, instead of reinforcing oppressive stereotypes.

In some parts of Mexico and the US there was a government bounty on native scalps so there were men who'd go around killing and scalping random injuns for a living. There are also example of Confederate guerillas who'd collect the scalps of Union soldiers. So white people scalping was a thing back in the day.

Applewhite posted:In Arabian Nights, why doesn't Aladdin wish for gender equality? Because Aladdin is a man and therefore benefits directly from the patriarchal power structure. Gender equality would remove his privilege, and so it is in his own best interest to maintain the status quo. Duh, this is why men can never be fully-trusted as feminist allies.

Applewhite posted:When Zeus tricks women into having sex with him by disguising himself as a swan, he's actually raping those women. I know the author of that story is writing from the perspective of the time but that doesn't let him off the hook for perpetuating rape culture. Maybe they shouldn't gently caress swans

I wonder if Toni Morrison was aware of the oppressive atmosphere she created in The Bluest Eye when she depicted the character of Pecola as hating herself for being Black and "ugly" for not having white skin and blue eyes. Black people struggle with institutional racism every day and I think it's highly insensitive of Morrison to create an obvious strawman for the sole purpose of shaming Blacks for their appearance. If Morrison had been more socially responsible, Pecola would have been proud of her heritage and rejected societal standards of beauty.
