Name three books you where required to read in high-school that had a "able bodied cis Christian white hero". It is harder than you'd think.
Able bodied and cis, sure. In fact everybody in all the books were cis. Not sure what the situation is now.Name three books you where required to read in high-school that had a "able bodied cis Christian white hero". It is harder than you'd think.
Tom Sawyer, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Easy-peasy.

Even assuming that was the same, the fact that the you are saying everyone with similar surface features is "pretty much the same" would mean you learned nothing from them. Apparently Tom Sawyer is basically Macbeth and also John the Savage so you only have to read one of those books to get it.
Also, whiners like Bill can twist Nick Carraway from The Great Gatsby into a gay icon if they really need one. There are plenty of moments within Shakespeare that an idpol adherent can interpret as "queer," too.
And everyone likes bosom. (Bewbs are maternal.)I still hate that "gay men can like dick" and "lesbians can like pussy" mindset. No, it's not that they can like those things, it's that it is the definition of being a gay man or a lesbian. Gay men only like dick, lesbians only like pussy, straight men only like pussy, staright women only like dick. Like both? Nice you're bi, more people to date for you.
I guess the hero is a white, able-bodied, cishet, Christian man, but the protagonist is actually his daughter.To Kill a Mockingbird
I'm guessing it’s partly because people like Labelle see fiction as a way of indoctrinating people as their primary function before entertainment value which is why we went from cool female hero’s like Ellen Ripley and Buffy to exceedingly boring ones who are into science for no reason and their only flaws are men don’t realise how awesome they are and they don’t believe in themselves (Because of said men).That's something I notice more and more. Maybe I'm just getting old. But I feel a real disconnect with the comments of people I read online. Maybe because they're really children/kids. But there's a trend that's larger than just the troons.
People get stuck on characters, ships, and fantasies regarding the world of the book, movie, series, game etc. , but with very little discussion about the actual themes and the lessons from stories.
Steophie Labelle does the exact same thing here. Instead of focusing on the lessons from the books, which applies to everyone regardless of the characters, she focuses on the characters not being like her.
Hell, I'm a white male and I'm not like most of the characters I read of, play as, or watch. Their struggles are often fantastical or use unrealistic, fictional elemements, and yet there are many parallels, metaphors, and lessons in their adventures that you can apply to the most mundane of life. A good story is an allegory of which its lessons can be applied to your life.
But I dunno, people nowadays prefer to scream and the author and random people online whenever a story doesn't go the way they want it to go. That's kinda sad. It's like the story has to fulfill the scenario they make in their heads, or its bad. And when it doesn't, they rage.
You just have to look at the acronym LGBT to see there’s disharmony and drama within that community.When I first started learning about the subject, I thought the LGBT community was stable and always worked together. Like, they have the rest of the world "against" them, so makes sense that they help each other, right?
Oh, no, no fucking way. In the same manner they keep acting like they are the victims of EVERY fucking thing that happens in the world, they also act like victims between themselves. Seems like they are running out of reasons to whine about, so they resort to segregating people between themselves. They went from asking for a chance to fight on equal grounding on this crazy world to point fingers to their own brothers-in-arms and say they are wrong.
And that's why stuff like Assigned Male happens.
That's the Nazbol and Possadist emblems, respectively.What does communism and a nuclear blast have to do with marginalized groups?
