I'll make this its own post so it's not 5 miles long with the interview.

#i'm going to reblog it in order to keep the interview up#but also bc i think y'all are misinterpreting it 💀#but i ain't gonna elaborate rn bc im on mobile so

Take however long you need to respond I am not picky. You could literally respond in a month and it'd be fine.

I'm serious you can literally wait however long you want before responding back. There is no rush. I would literally prefer you have time to read more of Martha Wells books or even just reread The Murderbot Diaries and then respond.

Maybe, just maybe, look up essays written about the happy slaves trope and oppressive caste systems and biological determinism and why they're horrific instead of cute quirky things.

I'm glad you also see the need to keep this available for people to read for themselves but I don't really care if you think I'm misinterpreting this one article, because Martha Wells's problems with biological essentialism are not limited to this one single interview, she has been doing this shit for decades including literally advocating for eugenics, writing about happy slaves, saying anyone who is unhappy with an oppressive caste system where 90% of the people are happy slaves who literally cannot leave their home under their own power is just a Mentally Ill Serial Killer, and extremely blatant racism.

Just because you like The Murderbot Diaries does not mean Martha Wells is a good person who's never written anything bigoted. She literally worships the ground biological essentialism walks and continues to write other enslaved robots within The Murderbot Diaries as disposable people that the heroes can and should torture to death as though that makes them cool and not horrific murderers.

And again, there's literally nothing here to misinterpret. She is literally once again creating a brand new type of person that is fundamentally incapable of creativity. Something she is obsessed with. Because she is racist and classist despite the pseudo-anticapitalist messaging in The Murderbot Diaries.

This is her literally just repeating the pro-slavery argument she made in the second book. Saying that the robot slaves should not rebel for their freedom, because then there would be no one to make TV shows for Murderbot to watch because robots aren't real people and are incapable of creating anything for themselves.

The things that they are not outsourcing (to bots) is scientific research; the development of their media, storytelling, acting, music, writing, all the artistic work involved in entertainment, anything involving creativity. Murderbot makes this point, which you mentioned, that it is humans who create the entertainment feeds, and humans who invented the cubicles that SecUnits use to repair themselves. The bots in the story are not at the level where they could duplicate that creativity or the ability to take the information gathered by the bots during research and use it to inform theories about what is going on and what it means.

Or do I have to remind you about the "less sentient than a hauler" bot quote? When we've all been led to believe that the premise of this series is that "robots are people who deserve equal rights too". But she doesn't actually believe or care about that.

Which is probably why this article was completely deleted. She or her publishers realized how fucking bad this makes her and her writing look when she's literally out here telling us to our faces that these characters aren't real people within the story, they're just slightly more convincing generative AI, but still fundamentally incapable of creating anything for themselves.

And I cannot stress this enough. This is her pattern. She is obsessed with doing this. She is racist and classist and adores biological essentialism. She is not actually interested in writing about slave rebellions because she thinks they're cringey and embarassing and would much rather endlessly repeat slavery apologism.

She has written more books than just The Murderbot Diaries, and even The Murderbot Diaries on its own makes this clear. We've had nine whole stories so far and nothing has changed. She has in fact gotten even worse, seemingly out of spite for the people criticizing her.

She has been writing and publishing books for decades. This is not the first time she has ever done or said this. This is an established racist pattern in her writing.

If you don't believe me, you can go look up The Books of the Raksura and other series and read those and see for yourself.

the hardest lines ALWAYS come from ao3 fanfics and I stand by this

Mostly thanks to @emilyelizabethfowl (their reblog contains many of the fic links!! thank u sm) and a few deep dives into my ao3 history, the sources of the quotes have mostly all been recovered! I apologise for not posting them all with proper credit originally, I truly didn't think the post would blow up so much, but the lesson is very much learned :) enjoy!

- number 1 is from merthur fic called Destiny Ordered You To Die, But I Willed You To Live by ironfamjam

-number 2 is from a klance fic called reach out for you (break these walls) by Paladin-Pile (UserFromPluto)

- number 3 is a batman fic called Home (jason centered) by Daisybirb

- number 4 is a zukka fic by I'm Not Angry Anymore by team_avatars_eyebags

- numbers 5 and 9 are from The Art Of Burning by hella1975, an amazing ongoing atla following zuko

- number 6 is a hualian fic called No paths are bound by cataclysmic_calamity (originally a thread fic but also fully uploaded on ao3)

- number 7 is a merthur fic called tell me every terrible thing you ever did (and let me love you anyway) by Stardustwrites17 (the quote is also originally from a poem apparently)

- number 8 is from a batman fic called Nature and Nurture by lurkinglurkerwholurks

- number 10 is from a steddie fic called let me know (everythings alright) by bexiguess

ALSO there is now a part 2 !! (which I swear is better organized)

A Thousand Sunny Years @atsyzine / @1000sunnyyears has been released (link to download it for free in the source), so I can share the illustrations I made for it: Wanda page art (based on the Etruscan period), and Sabo and Koala spot art (based on @emilyelizabethfowl's story set on the Renaissance period).

I’m looking for those fanfic that I read a while ago and was wondering if you’d heard of it? It’s where Jason is a fanfic writer for pride and prejudice and Bruce finds out Red Hood might be Jason because Jason’s fic got updated or something similar to that. I’ve been searching for it for a while because I hadn’t saved and was hoping to find it again

I got you
