Contextless opinion posting but I honestly don’t think it matters what we call it—Jew hatred, antisemitism, judeophobia, etc—as a deterrent, they’re all about as effective as wet toilet paper. The effort is wasted on these credulous, bloodthirsty cretins

"this work is problematic because of how it handles [subject]": reasonable premise for media criticism
"this work is problematic because it depicts [subject]": do not pass go do not collect $200 this is, as a general rule, a functionally reactionary and conservative argument

It occurred to me that I'd never posted the final published version of the Riverman excerpt that popped off here in 2022, so here it is!
(If you'd like to read the rest of the book, it's available for purchase here.)

the one thing i want to be able to do as a writer is make people come back to something ive written. i want that piece of text to haunt them, i want their thoughts to be briefly consumed by this. i want this to be something they remember long after its time. thats the one thing i want to do
#to the person who read that bit of Riverman and said they 'will think about this forever'#I have never forgotten that you said that#I am sustained as a writer by little comments like that
