I did a research paper this summer on this subreddit and there was a published study that found that 74% of attacks on Reddit came from 1% of source subreddits. I assume that subs like r/Drama are the 1%.
I work in a secondhand bookshop, we both buy and sell books. Sometimes middle aged women sell their entire library (generally 200 to 500 books), most of their library is identical Young Adult books. I even know which books to recommend them if asked.
I always find it annoying when an adult tells me without a lick of embarrassment that they're really into YA (always in a "lol I'm such nerd, reading books lol") because I have to restrain my natural asshole instinct to go "yeah, I liked that kind of stuff when I was twelve, but I read actual literature now".
So I kind of awkwardly go "oh it's not my thing", probably with a look of disgust on my face.
I'm usually good at not getting elitist with capeshit fans and I enjoy weebshit myself, dunno why I feel such an uncontrollable need to shit on YA.
I'm usually good at not getting elitist with capeshit fans
There is literally nothing wrong with being elitist about capeshit. Treating capeshit fans with kid gloves is how we got into this situation in the first place.
The big majority of YA books are read by adults, yes.
The term has also become somewhat muddied because even books that are technically adult will get labeled as YA because it sells more with that label. But these days borderline YA and the like may also get labeled as "NA" (new adult) too. But that's a very recent term.
That's expected. They are making a movie and want to jump on the income stream. People are gonna be more willing to buy it if it seems like an easier read.
I don't get adults who read YA. I read Moby Dick when I was in fucking fourth grade. I actively avoided books "for teens" because I thought they were fucking stupid garbage. idk what happened to reading as a hobby
yeah, I noticed a book I was interested in from a historical fiction angle (Through a Glass Darkly) was now being labeled as YA for some reason at my local bookstore.
No part of it is meant for children, and I think it would be far too confusing for most tweens. I genuinely do not get it, and it bugs the hell out of me.
Just check out the wretched ‘booktube’ community on youtube, these people already exist. Fat old women filming reviews in front of multiple overfilled bookshelves that mirror the YA section of a Barnes and Noble.
Its really not a fair comparrison. You can't really judge commentary channels the same way you can hobby channels. There's a big difference between channels that are going into deep academic or political analysis of an art medium and channels run by wholesome suburban moms who are basically just doing an online version of a book club.
Ita like comparing offical Rotten Tomatos film critics to IMBD normie user reviewers. Both are shit, but theyre different levels of shit
anime is different, a lot of it is intended for salary men, basically older men with no life besides work who watch shows like Non Non Biyori to cope with the fact that they'll never have kids or even a partner who loves them, desperately living through the joy these young cartoon girls experience in their respective shows, just like me.
Young adults in their 40s like me are now the largest demographic of YA fiction readers. So I guess that the media can't be "intended" for children if we read it more than them NOW CAN IT?!?!?! STUPIT!!
What about: reading the first one, skipping ahead to the middle and then the end, having to go back through what you missed (perhaps backwards) and then either finally somehow getting the whole picture or losing interest and closing the tab.
Twitter is such a dogshit platform for that exact reason. If the entire gimmick is brevity and you can just write a longpost and stretch it out over 15 messages it's not working. You shouldn't be allowed to reply to yourself imo
One author and former diversity advocate described why she no longer takes part: “I have never seen social interaction this fucked up,” she wrote in an email. “And I’ve been in prison.”
I would like to apologize for asking people to 'learn from this'. I know now that this was deeply hurtful towards people with learning disabilities. I have enrolled in a $12,000 anti-oppression training course and will endeavor to try better and consider how my words and actions impact others.
That's right, take that whipping: take it! Seriously, though, how do people become like this? Almost comes across as pathological self harm, or need to be punished. This is some clown world shit.
Tell me about it, /r/Fantasy is rife with this shit.
Don't exactly know why some subs become infected, but in this case I blame Harry Potter that made teenage girls think that every book should be an exercise in didactics and/or some statement on the human noble spirit, or fight against what they see as oppression.
Harry Potter doesn't come away unscathed from this. I've seen enough soap-boxing about the elf slavery or the Jewish caricature banking goblins for instance.
I said I think HP started this wave of feminist literary crusaders, not that the activists it spawned think it is perfection (they merely use it as a base for comparison, like how people in the past would have used the bible; "He is such a Judas!"="He's, like, Totally, like; Voldemort!")
In fact it is par of the course for them to turn on every work to seek out, or imbue, 'problematic' elements in it so they can grandstand and pretend to be so woke that even quasi-sripture is not beyond their reach to tear down. A person here, and there, and little by little the zeitgeist is changed. Just a few years ago these people adored HP, but an article here and a twitter thread there has changed that.
The fact she called it "Defense Against The Dark Arts" and endorsed school children carrying weapons is all you need to know about that white supremacist
and the fact that the whole point of the entire book series is that the government doesn't have your best interests in mind, and the best way to secure your safety and freedom is to hold midnight self-defense training with your personal-carry, extremely deadly weapon
/r/fantasy is a bit like this now. The sub has grown over the last 2-3 years and was eventually going to get its worth of bullshit. Sadly the amount of shit authors that have dragged their politics into the sub have managed to shape it to their will. And the same shit "authors"(And i'll use quotations marks becasue its the loosest definition of the word author) are completely above their works being told what they are - shit.
And its the same with awards in fantasy fiction. You literally couldn't believe or trust them to award talent or quality. The bar is actually well below Twilight quality now. Even JK Rowling (who isnt a great writer anyway) is ret-coning characters to fit the gender spectrum.
Thankfully, and i say this with bated breath, like much of the media that is consumed by this, the market dictates trends. This Bullshit doesnt sell. And quality does surface eventually. It just takes a little more effort to find.
Don't depict black people in a fantasy setting. Make all of the humans white, and all of the nonhumans elves/orcs/etc. This is objectively the correct way to perform worldbuilding.
A relative of mine is a moderately-successful YA novelist and this is all true. Tumblr/twitter backlash has become a legitimate concern to the extent that most YA authors will hire a 20-something liberal arts grad to give their book a "wokeness pass".
Holy fucking shit people that use twitter need to neck themselves. Imagine placing value on typing out some shit about a kids book from your shitty job at dollarama.
The contentious issue is the fantasy races are somehow perceived as analogous of POC and the author's blithely disregard towards incorporating a prodigiously talented and infallible POC coded heroine is reprehensible.
This is clearly a condoning of racism and she's trying to inoculate young malleable teenage minds with her white supremacy. No, no. This isn't a sabotaging attempt to impede the nascent career of a fantasy writer! This isn't punishment for a lack of conformity and sycophantic bowing to the Y.A police.
Shame on you, author. We're coming for Sarah Maas next! Those fairies are derogatory allegories for primitive aggression that's typically associated with POC. Why are all your heroines white?!? WHAT? Your slaves have blue eyes?!? BLUE EYES?????
"oppression is blind to skin color," as per the book's PR materials. The argument seems to be that because oppression isn't blind to skin color in our world, it's racist to conjure a fantasy world in which it is.
The hype train was derailed in mid-March, however, by Shauna Sinyard, a bookstore employee and blogger who writes primarily about YA and had a different take: “The Black Witch is the most dangerous, offensive book I have ever read,” she wrote in a nearly 9,000-word review that blasted the novel as an end-to-end mess of unadulterated bigotry. “It was ultimately written for white people. It was written for the type of white person who considers themselves to be not-racist and thinks that they deserve recognition and praise for treating POC like they are actually human.”
The Black Witch centers on a girl named Elloren who has been raised in a stratified society where other races (including selkies, fae, wolfmen, etc.) are considered inferior at best and enemies at worst. But when she goes off to college, she begins to question her beliefs, an ideological transformation she’s still working on when she joins with the rebellion in the last of the novel’s 600 pages. (It’s the first of a series; one hopes that Elloren will be more woke in book two.)
It was this premise that led Sinyard to slam The Black Witch as “racist, ableist, homophobic, and … written with no marginalized people in mind,” in a review that consisted largely of pull quotes featuring the book’s racist characters saying or doing racist things

The contentious issue is the fantasy races are somehow perceived as analogous of POC and the author's blithely disregard towards incorporating a prodigiously talented and infallible POC coded heroine is reprehensible.
This is clearly a condoning of racism and she's trying to inoculate young malleable teenage minds with her white supremacy. No, no. This isn't a sabotaging attempt to impede the nascent career of a fantasy writer! This isn't punishment for a lack of conformity and sycophantic bowing to the Y.A police.
Shame on you, author. We're coming for Sarah Maas next! Those fairies are derogatory allegories for primitive aggression that's typically associated with POC. Why are all your heroines white?!? WHAT? Your slaves have blue eyes?!? BLUE EYES?????

Looks like the author has decided to not publish her book.
YA Twitter is a more successful harassment campaign against women than Gamergate ever was.
