Time to finally admit that the Dresden Files books are not pleasant to me anymore
#i've developed too high of standards 😭😭#to be clear i still think the good in it is good. elite humor impeccable plotting and pacing (except in the last one)#truly epic moments#unfortunately all of the above is inextricably blended with objectification of women#and a male power fantasy (that's a reductive way to put it but yeah)#the opposite of free guy or scholomance or lord of the rings or even Jesus#where power is in fact made perfect in weakness. jim butcher can't do it i fear#he has to keep making harry more Cool. it's too damaging to the symbolic potential#i've hung onto these books since high school hoping the love would come back but i don't think it's going to. sad! but on to better things#did i mention the objectification of women? i used to be like it's whatever#but now that i've learned how many good stories there are that miraculously avoid talking about women's breasts and/or legs#i can't unsee it
