imagine living during an era where the us is systematically sabotaging and dismantling countries in the global south using manufactured consent, writing a book where a pacifist in a meeting argues for their ideals only for them to be gunned down by the caputalist government a few chapters later, but still loudly proclaim yourself as an pacifist. you cant even prove your ideals are right in the realm of your own fiction! i'd be fucking embarrassed lmao.
#yeah this is about a certain sff writer that i like but is imperfect and is ultimately#a priveleged woman living in the us and detached from the realities of actual struggle#i like her writing but i never liked the way ppl put her in pedestal just because she made some good speeches#her writings reveal a deep misunderstanding about class struggle and national liberation movements#a wonderful anthropologist though#(also lol did she defended the use of he/him as a default pronoun. granted she apologized... but even in the field of feminism...#her expertise is deeply lacking especially when its about transmisogyny. okay honestly its trans issues in general)#she cant even pass the pronoun test!#textposts
