this is probably the meanest thing i have to say about the wc fandom but sometimes ill see a take and ill go “good on you for your analysis skills but i think you are giving the erins wayyy too much credit”

#‘’oh this book has an unreliable narrator!! this female character was ignored bc shes defying the narrative!!’’#i do not think the erins care as much as you think they do #when they cant even keep one important support character consistent between two books #also this is not something typically found in books like this #i hate to say this but this isnt a passion project. its a factory.#its as tropey and stereotypical as it can get. the books are incredibly shallow #and like obviously do what u want u can find deeper meanings have fun #but i get annoyed when people are like ‘’you cant say this is poorly written you just dont know unreliable narration!!’’#like im sorry but. read another book its not that deep. read henry james if you want genuine deeper meanings #echoed voice #for fucks sake they unintentionally wrote an abusive protagonist and to this day defend him and say they didnt mean it hes just snappy #these writers make these for money. they write what sells. thats why theres all these stock tropes and repeated plotlines #thats why the status quo never properly changes thats why we have cookie cutter protagonists #thats why we will never get proper lgbt representation in these books and the best youll get as a feminist diversive couple #is ‘’the man actually cares about his kids’’#i am admittedly jaded but like. idk man read more books.
