#they’re all just. lacking something.#I feel a bit bad for generalizing but ig what I want to say is that like#anyone can be capable of providing and thorough look at something. so I don’t believe white authors are inherently incapable of telling a#story that tackles subjects of imperialism or race well#I believe that’s very possible#these authors are just not quite getting there#tbf two of these authors I read older books from them#so maybe I should give them another shot#but jeez the emotional disconnect I have. the hyperactive brain.#should also clarify these are all stories that are certainly trying to tackle imperialism/etc#which once again. I can appreciate. and certainly it can be done well#these books are probably great primer fiction on it as well#but like. I’ve been spoiled by theory. it’s hashtag not enough#also one of my most influential fantasies was lotr which like. does not handle either topic well but the world was so incredibly immersive#…that might actually be the issue. the worlds don’t feel immersive enough to me without using parts of the real world as substitutes#and once that happens the foundation becomes shoddy#hold on this is. this is actually probably it.
