book twitter is completely unhinged

for people who make liking reading their personality they sure are a big bunch of metaphorical book burners, very weird

i was on tumblr for a long time and i literally never saw everyone from a marginalised group unanimously agree on what is & #39;good representation& #39; it& #39;s fucking subjective! the idea one person reading your book will magically make it not problematic somehow

also: books should be problematic and challenging because life is problematic and if your book doesn& #39;t reflect that then it& #39;s boring sanitised bullshit

it& #39;s actually very easy to simply not read a book if you don& #39;t like their premise, i do it all the time
