Audra Winters (of Age of Scorpius infamy) has written a poetry book (unarchived Patreon post).
So instead of writing AoS she's been making poetry that deals with 'heavy themes' wrow. I wonder if one of those themes is fame and TikTok and being a 'gifted kid'. I think Audra might be southern or midwestern but there's nothing more jarring that y'all on the Internet from these types. I can't bring myself to watch/keep up with teh Audra drama ever since she pooned out and all videos are glazing her and protecting her prooonouns. Please note her Goodreads has not been updated to her tranny name Milo, so this book is defo NEVER happening.

Dude holds a book, he's performative. Women do this; build their entire fucking life around books they just hastily glaze through, they're tik tok book girlies.Au contraire, they're going to be living very long lives on some girl's bookshelf—because once she slots the new book into its proper spot in her "aesthetic" color gradient shelves, she's never going to touch that book again.

Man, I really wish Audra Winter hadn't pulled out the pooner card. Book drama is one of my favorite kinds of background noise, but now I can't watch any more update videos about her and her hilarious excuse of a 'book' because I absolutely cannot stomach all these dipshit YouTubers respecting *HIS! pronouns as if *HE! didn't just cry "I'M TWAAANS" as a way to weasel out of taking accountability. Like it's so transparent what happened there, but fucking everyone INSISTS that this perpetually lying autistic woman is definitely a heckin' valid dood, dood!!!
Anyway. I hope she keeps making bad decisions and the normies keep laughing at her. Will it change anything about modern books or cause the long overdue fall of BookTok? Probably not, but it's funny to watch a retard flail either way.

I've wondered about that too. Whenever I see TikToks of them showing their highlighted pages, I like to pause sometimes to see what exactly they've been impressed by and what they've written next to it (if the latter exists). It's always something like
>wow.... what a mood!
>spicy
>omg so true
and a weak attempt at saying something about the politics and themes of the book that most of the time comes across as "we live in a society </3"
Even the highlighted quotes themselves are always nothingburgers that don't convey anything that might give you pause to reflect or hit you with a deep sense of recognition. It's ALWAYS
>"You belong to me always," he snarled, his six-pack gleaming in the sun and wobbling like a twerking black Queen."
Some older black people like to mark up their Bible (another work of fiction
) and "read" it in public, i.e. stare at the same page for like 5-10 minutes. They think it makes them look like they're working hard at unlocking the mysteries of scripture, but I snuck a peek over a nog's shoulder once and it looked like he had been highlignting and underlining random passages, (The only one I remember was the words "he said" underlined in red.) Imagine having to larp as someone who is literate.

Apparently there is some drama about a book called "Shy Girl' being completely AI generated. I was linked a youtube video with half a million views, but the person is unwatchable, so I bounced off.
Anyone with some info?

This is the most retarded spiel I've ever fucking heard. This is what the "all art is political" brainrot does to a motherfucker.
No, Fantasy/Fiction IS--and has ALWAYS BEEN--escapism. The use of real world elements and in-universe politics doesn't change that fact.
Most of the shit that's blatantly written to critique real world politics is a fucking slog to read through due to most authors being too retarded to portray it properly; or it just becomes commie propaganda bullshit.
Stop trying to make everyone else as miserable and insufferable as you, you blithering faggot.

Seems like Ms Layne, aka Second Story, has ruffled a few feathers on the midnight meat train (the LGBTQIA2MAP community). I've seen three videos now, each by different creators, all about how she's the worst person to ever exist in the universe.
Firstly, there's this faggot, whose late night cumslurping has been so affected by Ms Layne that he's had to make four hours' worth of videos about her:
Then we have this "lovely" "woman" with the voice of a chainsmoking baritone:
A second faggot, who thinks an armsleeve of tattoos is a good substitute for a personality, and whose hard drive should be checked as soon as humanly possible:
And finally this old MAP, posting from the depths of his rape dungeon. If you listen closely, you might hear a child crying in the background. As an aside, I wonder whether he knows that Zod is the bad guy? So much for media literacy, amirite?
Personally, I'm not too much a fan of Second Story. I tend to think she has a very narrow view of literature guided by some weird form of Yank puritanism, but I find it very funny how a mere mention of her name has these faggots losing their minds.

I like how he assumes she's on the right just because she has takes he disagrees immensely with. For all we know, she's a centrist or an old-school liberal, I don't think it matters because fiction is (should be) apolitical.

Holy shit this does not need to be two hours long.
I'm only ten minutes in with "there is no literacy crisis" and I know I'm in for a doozy. After I watch the whole thing I may or may not write a TLDW. More material to listen to while I clean I guess.

He is ultimately a product of conservatives conceding the culture war, and the arts. First, He is to immersed in progressive agitprop to see how ICE, and deportations are nothing like his fantasy books. Second, he is just not smart enough to consider things from a different angle. He is an unfortunate product of our gay culture.

I kind of like her criticisms, at least from the form of "Are you beginning your project now, or maybe are you just a fan of young adult fiction? Tune in, I'll share some ideas". Appreciating for what it is is quite good.
The tears are quite an extra, and why do these "breadtube" adjacent types are losing their minds over opinions, I'll never understand.

Because the breadtubers assume they hold the "correct" opinions, therefore if she says something they disagree with, for whatever reason, then she obviously has the "wrong" opinions. And if she has one wrong opinion, she might have others, and therefore is obviously a MAGATrumphitler fascist.

A lot of people (supposedly adults) just can't handle being disagreed with anymore.
If your opinion is different from theirs, if you tell them something that they weren't expecting, if you try to correct them, if you have some new information that they haven't heard of before or some new argument for them to consider, if you have a new idea that wasn't already on the socially-approved list of ideas, then they cannot process it logically.
They're not curious to learn more and figure it out. They do not have any sort of an adult response to it. They just get straight-up mad at you.
I really want to do the good-faith, endlessly-gracious thing and say that "all sides have people who are like this, and it's just an emotional trap that we all have to be vigilant about not falling into ourselves..."
But, fuck it, this pattern applies almost exclusively to people on the Left. It's getting increasingly more common among them.
I think that this sort of incredible emotional fragility arises from something else that precedes a person's Left-wing political orientation.
Like "an overriding inclination toward social comfort" or something. Our grandparents might've just called this shared root cause "weakness of character."
And then that inclination causes people to hate disagreement and react poorly to new ideas, but it also causes them to prefer the short-term-thinking "wouldn't it just be nice if..." side of politics because all of the "don't worry, you already have all of the Good Person answers, you're on the right side of history" shit and the "unintended consequences, what are those?" shit placates their emotions.
I remember Aydin Paladin having a good video about how socially-negative outcomes (losing a competition or an argument, being ostracized, being disagreed with, etc.) actually causes people physical pain, and I'm sure that the psychology and physiology behind that would be useful for my theory, but I can't find it right now.
I could find this study showing how small the range of "acceptable opinions" is on the Left. So people on the Left are going to have way more things that they disagree with / can't even consider / get mad at you for even bringing up.

Am I really just some autistic weirdo for thinking that we're supposed to use logic to figure things out? Or for expecting the same from others? Isn't that supposed to be a mark of maturity? Isn't this what we were all told growing up?
It's so fucking disappointing.

Main Character Syndrome really should be studied more, though I think we have a decent answer in the form of "literacy interpretation" that we were taught in schools. Asking "What did Shakespeare mean by the door being red?" instead of just letting the door be red because it happens to be fucking red.
Though Hilary Layne went further in pointing out the various "trigger words" that children got indoctrinated into being triggered over in a social concept like "wealth" even though the word has multiple different meanings and contexts. She's right that the people literally flipping out over these words and misinterpreting the text are too far gone to reason with. And that's the most likely reason they are so mad at her, they are just proving her right that they cannot have a decent conversation over something as simple as reading a constructed sentence as-is by an author.

So much of the hatred towards Ms Layne is unironically because shes a normal, fairly attractive/well groomed, WUHyte woman who dares to express a dissenting opinion. Fags hate women and will jump at any opportunity to be able to publicly shittalk them, the Sims community has that one guy who uses some female simmers face for every 'the sims community sucks' and makes up grievances against her solely because shes a 'Saudi shill' now.
You'll never see misogyny like the misogyny of leftists when a woman steps out of line (ie JKRowling, even Audra Winters to an extent). As much as I hate some of the female authors here, like Cait Corrain, a ton of the backlash and insults hurled their way is because they become acceptable women to hatepost about (such as Cait Corrain's friend being called an 'albino snake').
Shy Girl is so fucking obviously made partially, or wholly, by AI. It's a slap-dash of 'muh female rage', dog-teeth-biting-metaphor tumblr slop, lacy feminine era aesthetics, 'bedrotting', edgy attempts at sex/gender dynamics, perma-academia, all tropes which are super popular right now; written by women who would never speak back to a waiter for women who would never speak back to a waiter and think being a perma unemployed student with neuroses is like, totally chic. But yes, your female rage queen.
I also hate this trend of classical paintings with BIG FONT for these types of book (popularised by Lapvona iirc but GOD)

Two things:
1. She used the word "degeneracy" in a title, which is basically like pouring a bucket of blood in a pool which would eventually attract breadtube sharks
2. This basically follows one but basicly what she criticizes what Tumblr helped spawn. Aka fanfiction and smut. Obviously fandom spaces and the sjw crowd are two heavily overlapping circles and there are those who are going to be hyper defensive over their "feminist" smut.
But it's mostly 1, no one would care otherwise.
