Oy vey, they made Jonathan Yaniv into a protagonist of a shitty YA book! We need some extra Torah readings to deal with this, quickly turn to Leviticus 20:13 and Deuteronomy 22:5!
Nah, all serious literature has a genderfluid Jew empath having at least one autistic meltdown. The pronouns are so screwed up I can't tell if that is the Domme or the sub, though I'm guessing sub.
I seriously wonder about that too sometimes, if all this is just to discredit the left wing.
I was thinking today in fact about how much left wing politics used to often make sense to me, how downright smarter left leaning people seemed, now I look at how literally retarded they've become and ask myself the question "what the hell happened?"
This is a popular theory and one I and others have thrown around, but you really do have to wonder if after the Great Recession the powers that be really were afraid of some global socialist revolution in response so they subverted the left wing and turned into it into the absolute retardation it is today.
Because if that's not a parody and the person who wrote that is being serious, this is all absolutely a psyop, this is intentional insanity being promoted for nefarious means, because there's no way attitudes so downright fucking bizarre just happened naturally.
These people exist for cancel culture, ruining other people's lives via Twitter is all they live for, every endeavor they embark on, everything they write or whatever is just an excuse to give them weight to throw around so they can ruin other people's lives to feel better about themselves, their books may as well be "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" repeated over and over.
Congratulations, all of human art and literature is being colonized by sociopaths who like to hurt others to get their own jollies, you're never gonna get another Hemingway or whoever in this climate, you're never gonna get another book worth reading at all if this climate continues and these people aren't told to FUCK OFF because nobody's going to be able to create real art in this climate of fear.
Unless the accusation is literally criminal (in which case, take it up with the police) anyone that tries to "cancel" anyone on Twitter, no matter the offense, should be told to simply FUCK OFF.
This one's even more nuts than that- the Asian author she called ugly (receipts? we just don't know) is Amelie Wen Zhao, author of Blood Heir, the book that got completely rewritten before its release because a few YA authors accused her of being anti-black because her book dealt with non-racial slavery. There are tons of articles on it, and it was one of those stinks that made YA Twitter infamous. The book was scheduled to come out when Emily Duncan's was, she joined the dogpile, and was safely able to celebrate when the book got pushed back. I'll bet all of YA Twitter said things about Amelie Wen Zhao at the time that were over the line and about her as a person, but because Stop Asian Hate virtue signaling is in the news now, because Emily's new book came out today, because she's rubbed people the wrong way for too long, this happens. I cannot overemphasize how badly Amelie was treated before her book even had a chance to debut. but the sides have reversed just for the chance of taking down at least 3 white authors. YA Twitter is a fucking cesspool, but it's the hypocrisy that really grates.
Emily A. Duncan isn't exactly a movie star herself, to top it all off. At first glance I thought troon, though that is clearly not the case.
Will the gookette representing her cut her loose immediately, or wait until the first blush of book sales from Duncan's most recent release is done?
In any event nothing gladdens the heart like seeing yet another "youth services librarian" put through the shredder.
And while we're at it, let's cancel literally EVERY popular YA author... Twitter / Archive
Yet another white chick studying "library science." Blissfully unaware (apparently) about what is going around, coming around.
That Rin Chupeco sounds like a fucking psychopath. I never heard of any of these people; how do they have 20k+ followers on Twitter and why does everyone in their feeds uncritically believe these accusations and kiss their asses?
If I was able to write a book in 3 days like Moorcock did, I so would have written some Fu Manchu-tier YA, then asked a black friend to publish it, just to look at implosion.
Since we’re not really talking about functional human beings here, it shouldn’t surprise me that they don’t do the humane thing when one of their “friends” is being canceled. Just say “so and so is my friend. They are a good person. I have nothing else to say on the matter.” That’s all they have to do but they clearly don’t value or understand friendship.
IIRC, Emily Duncan was the one who canceled an author over being anti-black by depicting slavery in her novel about Russia (because there never were any non-black slaves, obviously). It also probably had something to do that said author wrote fantasy about Russia which is something Emily Duncan also does. So in this case, it's 100% just desserts.

The people who led the charge were LL McKinney and Ellen Oh. afaik Duncan just cosigned the pile-on, because who would want to support anti-black racism? Except it's clear here that no one truly cares about Asian writers; they just want an excuse to hammer out the competition.
Jordan Peterson is angry because he inspired Ta-Nehisi Coates' take on Nazi villain Red Skull in his Captain America comic book. But maybe try not being a Nazi?
In the comic, Red Skull appears to discuss the "Ten Rules for Life," inspired by Peterson's book "12 Rules for Life."

It's issue 28 of Captain America (2019) for those who wish to read it (don't bother, it's not very good).
Comic authors projecting their grievences onto comics is nothing new, but I have to say this is amazingly blatant. The author, Ta-Nehisi Coates, a reparations advocate and racist who only knows how to talk about race, is set to write the next superman film. Fun! Before writing Captain America he worked exclusively on Black Panther for Marvel. He no longer has a twitter, because he flounced in 2017 after someone called him a neoliberal and accused him of being too capitalist in an article for The Guardian of all places. (A neoliberal criticising Jordan Peterson?? How surprising.) When the Grauniad is calling you a pandering crony, you know it's bad.
The article in question, in which one Highly Educated Black Man In Academia informs another HIghly Educated Black Man in Academia that he is not Woke enough.
The disagreement between Coates and me is clear: his view of black America is narrow and dangerously misleading

There are two twitter accounts under his name, but they're... well. Sketchy.
Incidentally, I don't agree with Peterson on everything but this seems... phenomenally shitty. Wonks love to mock Peterson for getting upset, but I think i'd be offended too if some dipshit who got an easy ride into academics on the back of race-baiting called me Hitler and reduced my entire body of work to some vague buzzwords.
Nazis are the worst, laziest comic villains. They don't need any backstory, no humanity, They're just evil dickheads who are Always Wrong. A nizi needs no explanation or reasoning, there's never a question of 'hey maybe they have a point'. No one is worse than Nazis, not even the Joker.
Nazis are almost always a crutch for lazy writers who don't know how to write a good villain.
Making a comic where a character is based on spergy Youtube/Social Media skeptics could make for some funny material, I think. But, a combination of trying to make this super serious and the author being unable to make their own personal grievances more subtle kills it. But, if Peterson is actually upset about this, that's amusing to me.
I've read a few pretty good books with Nazi characters that actually developed them and went into why they were caught up in the ideology. But, those were historical fiction novels and not comic books, looks like the subject is portrayed in a more shallow light in comics. (Mainstream ones anyway.)
