Meh, this person is a SJW straight down the line. I’m not surprised.

Re: Social Justice Warriors Thread
Thanks for that post, Hastur.
I have a question for everyone, and I'm asking this seriously.
What do you believe *in your opinion* to be the motivation for the author in this post to ask her publisher to withhold her book, Blood Heir?
A. Altruism, i.e., her stated reason
B. Egoism
C. Irrationality/mental illness, e.g., psychosis
D. It was an involuntary/coerced action
E. Something else
I'm really interested to know what you all think about this sort of thing.

Here's the offending book.

Not even set in the real world. It's a Young Adult Fantasy novel.

Column A with a heavy helping of Column C. If this is going to be a permanent thing then she has to be convinced she is doing something she believes in. This thing sounds like a meal ticket. The movie rights alone sound like a Joy Luck Club or Crazy Rich Asians. Somewhere is an agent rubbing their hands together thinking about the money or one biting thier nails thinking when do I drop this bitch, possibly both.Fife wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 6:30 amThanks for that post, Hastur.

I'll go with publicity stunt as well. What a great way to draw more attention to yourself and your book than to pull it for being "too controversial".clubgop wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 6:56 amWell knowing that,Hastur wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 6:43 amD

Have you seen the vitriol poured on her on twitter?

I don't doubt the triggered happy SJWs attacked her. I thin she saw that as an opportunity to cash in over feeling sorry she offended anyone.

Read part one of Albion's Seed.
Seriously. If you want to understand Yankee culture you have to understand how they came to exist. Yankees are deathly afraid of receiving a scarlet letter and shunning.
I'd argue all four nations were fucked to some degree, with Quakers/Midlanders the least fucked, and Deep South at least forced to address their fuckedness after getting their asses handed to them at Gettysburg.
Yankees have never once even bothered to acknowledge how fucked up their culture is, much less address it.
