Good, parents need to expose this shit. But why the fuck are these books being geared towards children? Are they even meant for the YA genre to begin with (the "Beyond Magenta" book already was explained that it is), and if so, why the hell did the publishing house(s) allow that, especially with scenes this graphic? I know there's been YA books (Christopher Pike has written horror for young adults that were a bit brutal) that had allusions to sexual content, but they were never this graphic, especially with child characters.

Here's the full book if anyone's curious enough to read it. There's apparently a sequel, just in case anyone wants more homosex. I skimmed the first chapter, and the writing looks pretty shitty, which is par for the course for YA books.

I know this may come as a surprise to some of you, but the author is apparently half Jewish, half Armenian, and was born in Israel. He also wrote an open letter crying about how Hillary lost in 2016.

This is a horrible thing to say to teens questioning their orientation, and is honestly pretty homophobic. Them Gays are just so sex-hungry they can't stay tied down, yakno?

Is it just a homophobic stereotype though? 83% of homosexuals have had over 50 sexual partners, compared to the average of 6-8 in straight men.
I know it's a Christian website, but the citations check out.

I think it still counts as a homophobic stereotype due to the fact that the author chose to focus so much on it, went so fucking extreme with it, and made it their defining trait. Think of it like this.

Just because Southerners are much more likely to be religious doesn't mean you should write a Southern character as nothing more than a bible-thumping nutjob. Gay people are more promiscuous, but that doesn't mean you should write them as sex-crazed maniacs, let alone as disgusting, unrepentant child molesters.

A friend of mine was trying to check out A Handmaid’s Tale from her library. She couldn’t find it with the rest of Atwood’s books even though their website said it was available. She asked the librarian and was told that it was in the young adult section. How in the fuck is that a young adult book? Is it because it’s dystopian and that genre has been taken over by that audience? Is it because The Handmaid’s Tale appeals to wine mommies, the real YA readers?

So, a while back, I mentioned the possibility of self-publishing an intentionally "problematic" and non-woke YA novel intended to piss off the YA crowd, and someone mentioned the rabid zealotry and cliquish mentality of YA authors and readers alike, and recommended that you should have a VPN and a pseudonym to avoid their cancel culture antics.

I was thinking back on that, and I figured if someone were to simply use a VPN and the right kind of pseudonym, they could game the system and cause a huge YA shitstorm by using the Progressive Stack against itself.

As autistic and failtroll as this sounds, someone could easily do a Jace Connors/Titania McGrath-style ruse and have a whole fake author persona who's a Millennial queer woman of color and seems to check off the proper woke IdPol boxes on the surface and then the book itself is just edgy problematic fun.

If someone starts accusing them of having a masculine writing style,they could easily get by and just playing the tranny card and accusing them of transphobia or something.

Yeah, it's a dumb idea and one of the oldest tricks in the book, but as far as I know, nobody so far has used it for the YA crowd. To be honest, I'm surprised nobody seems to have tried to do this already.

They've done it with the college lefty crowd by submitting an academic paper comprised Mein Kampf excerpts altered to include woke buzzwords and intersectional talking points, while the whole Titania McGrath prank was just a SJW version of Jace Connors and many people still fell for it. You'd think with the advent of easier self-publishing in the digital age, someone would've tried it by now.

Just convince Jonathan Yaniv to write a YA novel. Tell him it's the easiest way to get rich and score lots of underage pussy.

Already been done.

White poet used Chinese pen name to gain entry into Best American Poetry

Love this quote...

“I was practicing a form of literary justice that can look like injustice from a different angle. And vice versa,” wrote Alexie. “And, of course, I know many of you poets are pissed at me. I know many of you are screaming out a simple question: ‘Sherman, why did you keep that poetry colonist in the anthology even after you learned of his deception?’ Listen, I was so angry that I stormed and cursed around the room. I felt like punching the wall. And, of course, there was no doubt that I would pull that fucking poem because of that deceitful pseudonym.”

Even though I'm still not sure what a "poetry colonist" is. Especially since the poem was in English. And apparently about flowers in a garden or something local color-ish. And not about the oppression Asian women feel every day trying to use giant Iphones in their little hands or something. (Hope I haven't given anyone any ideas... )

I know there was an infamous case in the 1990s or maybe earlier where a white author in the UK pretended to be an Indian, but damned if I can find anything on-line about it. I think it won all kind of UK awards before the author was found out.

Sherman Alexie is a whinging prick but fair play to him here, even if it is dressed in all manner of bullshit (immediately jumps to ‘colonial theft’, whatever that is, before rereading and realising it has no ethnic overtones at all). It’s funny/depressing to me though that his statement seems like he’s desperately trying to convince himself to stick to his usual doctrine of ‘crackers bad mmmkay’ yet can’t because he likes the poem too much. Nice summary of these shitheads: I love this art but it’s such a struggle for me to appreciate it because it doesn’t tick my necessary boxes.

If this white man feels so guilty he should kill himself and improve the world by removing another disgusting white piece of shit from it.

If you're talking about Sherman Alexie, he's a Native American, not white.

He should kill himself for being a race traitor then and assisting a white colonizer.

I am not entirely sure that this is YA, but given the themes and the title, I doubt it was written by or for a stuffy boomer.

The author is a tranny but was doxed and outed as a result of the troon lynch mob.

The author was a transwoman. She was doxed and outed by the Twitter troon hatemob. They care a whole lot about transwomen being safe from things like mean words, so if that means a transwoman may end up in actual, real danger, so be it.

Sorry to double post, but this is the most Big Brained Take about writing that I've seen in a while. If you write a character that is a kid, you are bad and creepy.

I suppose it depends from the story.

Spoiler: Sperging about the sins of modern Italian literature

Years ago there was an Italian writer called Federico Moccia, who achieved literary success with two romance books for young adults, Tre Metri Sopra il Cielo (3 Meters Above the Sky) and its sequel Ho Voglia di Te (I Want you).

Then he continued writing similar stories, but his female main characters became progressively younger and the books started to take not-so-veiled pedophilic undertones. These were highly praised too (probably because Moccia is the son of a very famous screenwriter, one of the few who made the history of Italian cinema), but there was a blog who made detailed, honest reviews of that shit, posting excerpts, and after reading them I still can't believe that trash has been published:

- in "Scusa Ma Ti Chiamo Amore" (Sorry, But I'm Calling You Love) the main character is a 17yo girl who falls in love with a 40yo publicist. In the sequel, that takes place one year later, they live together and the MC's 40yo boyfriend has prepared in their apartment an exact replica of her room at her parent's house, because he's turned on by the thought of having sex with her between plushies and pink sheets.

- The next book, "Amore 14" (Love at Fourteen) is particularly disturbing because it's written in first person POV, and the main character is a 14yo girl. This wouldn't be bad, if the book didn't include pretty graphic masturbation and sex scenes, and the MC's boyfriend wasn't 18. This happened 12 years ago, and I hope that now no editor would dare to publish this thing. Actually, the editor stopped reprint these books years ago, so now they are very hard to find.

BTW, this is Federico Moccia:

the cap sports the logo of "Mr Amore" (Mr Love) a clothes brand inspired by his books. Since his constant gushing about George Clooney and his insistence to write from female characters POV, I'm still expecting him to troon out.

Ah. There was nothing like that in the book that review was for. It was just your typical high school story about bullying, friendship struggles, mental health and things like that. It does go into some dark territory, since there's talk of suicide and abusive relationships, but nothing that makes the author seem like a pervert for writing about it. The reviewer literally just thinks writing about a teenage girl at all makes you a pedo for some bizarre reason.
