My #1 post of 2022

what is your problem with tiktok or booktok and colleen hoover lmao its not that bad surely

the fact that it actively promotes overconsumerism, the way it sells books to you by just playing into already heavily milked out tropes with very specific character niches that are seen in every book nowadays and how the reading is just seen as something aesthetic or a part of the "it girl routine" maybe? if those are enough reasons for you?

does the fact that these books are the first things you see when you walk into a bookstore not bother you? when you ask someone for a book recommendation they'll follow it up with "its a romance slow burn enemies to lovers". it's always about the aesthetic of the book, how many lines can you take out of context and post as a compilation of your super cute romantic annotations page on instagram. no analyzing the book, no theories, no symbolism or meaningfulness at all. how people stand reading those kind of books and still feel any kind of emotions over these flat as hell books with no world or character building is genuinely baffling to me

no one seems to know about actual literature anymore, which not to sound like a boomer but i think its definitely true. there's always been trend cycles, i agree such as the harry potter craze from the 1990s to the 2000s and the dystopia hunger games/maze runner/divergent blast in the early 2010s but tiktok has just.. shortened these cycles so much. as a result, people like our darling colleen hoover whose written around 46 books since 2015 (according to google) try come up with as much fresh content as they can as quickly as possible for the readers (see overconsumption). the fact that this lady outsold the bible is not outstanding to me, its fucking concerning.

and after all that, the result is badly written books with characters who're about as dimensional as a piece of paper, overuse of tropes, read like they've been written by a toddler, toxic-ass relationships being romanticised, very unnecessary sex scenes and countless other things. seriously if i wanted to read about the kind of stories hoover tells i would just open a wattpad account.

this isn't to say that all booktok books are terrible. i'm trying to highlight some of the flaws i find in authors like colleen hoover, emily henry, taylor jenkins reid, ali hazelwood, sarah j maas and elena armas. some of their works are quite decent :) six of crows, thsoeh, tsoa, circe, daisy jones, where the crawdads sing etc are some books which i think everyone has heard of if theyre active online which were actually nice reads. also i am BEGGING u to reach out of your comfort zone and read something different like non-fiction or fantasy or one of the classics for once if you only read booktok like seriously it might be hard but just do it for the love of god!!

here’s my opinion on cancel culture even though literally no one asked for it:

I think the idea itself was supposed to have good intentions, but it definitely went downhill. People are misusing the term as well as overusing it. I believe it can be beneficial when there is someone who actually needs to be canceled, but it can also be extremely harmful to people who either generally didn’t know what they did was wrong, or have grown and learned from their past. My main issues with cancel culture are that it doesn’t allow people to grow and change, they believe the first thing they see, and sometimes people are straight up bullying people. I will try to provide examples but I’m not that smart so bear with me.

I used to be a hardcore tiktok “influencer” stan, and when my faves were getting “cancelled” I did not want to recognize what they did because I didn’t want to hold them accountable. Yes, I have changed and I realized the majority of them were wrong and did deserve to be called out. However, there were a few who didn’t actually know what they did was wrong. My problem with this was instead of educating them on what they did wrong, people resorted to bullying them and sending them death threats. I also noticed how sometimes people would bring up things from 5+ years ago when these people were about 12-14 and say that they “couldn’t change” or that they were “only sorry because they got caught”. Now this is a very iffy argument for me because we don’t know 99% of these people in real life or their true personality to know if they’ve changed or not. I base my opinions about them on what I see on their social media. Are they standing up for minorities? Do they hang around people that are problematic? Things like that. I could go on for hours talking about this because like I said it is totally circumstantial.

Another thing I’ve noticed though, it is EXTREMELY hard to cancel actual celebrities. This is not me saying that some of them do not deserve to be canceled, but it does take a lot of work. Like I said earlier SOME PEOPLE DO CHANGE, but you have to use your knowledge on how they act on social media and in public to think they did or didn’t. Celebrities are real people. They make mistakes just like us. Once again though, this is not me saying they don’t deserve to be canceled because I have a longggg list of names I could drop on the spot. I will use a real example of this though so people can get a full understanding. I will be using Ellen Pompeo to sort of explain what I’m talking about. If you are not a fan of greys anatomy, Ellen is the actress of the main character in the show who recently got exposed for doing some horrible things (believing in reverse racism, victim blaming, body shaming…there’s an entire Twitter thread). And while I do not support her, people are saying she’s canceled but in reality she isn’t…at least from my perspective. I think of canceling as basically taking people’s platform and careers away and literally paying them no attention. Ellen still gets plenty of attention, has plenty of fans, is making tons of money. In my opinion she just got exposed? I don’t know if I’m making any sense here, but this is just how I see things.

Like I said cancel culture could be a good thing if it was used right while still not being overused. I hope this didn’t give anyone the wrong impression of me though, because I 100% absolutely DO NOT SUPPORT racism, homophobia, xenophobia, body shaming, or anything along the lines of that. Like I said I could go so much more in depth with this topic so if anyone wants to talk about it message me!!

I feel like the conversation around "cancel culture" is inherently disingenuous because half the people in it are defining cancel culture as "experiencing consequences for shitty actions" and the other half are defining it as "online spaces dogpiling people for vague hearsay of a vaguely problematic thing they may or may not have actually done fifteen years ago, and may have been entirely made up by people who have personal beef with them." One is good. One is very bad. But they both get referred to by the same term, and that's...an issue.

Like, if I hear somebody complaining about "cancel culture," what do they mean? Did they say something racist and get called out for it, or are they being smeared and called an abuser by a bunch of te/rfs because they participate in BDSM, and nobody bothered to fact check it before hurling around really serious accusations?
