I've never read Tamora Pierce, as a disclaimer

[chardmonster]

But please understand that most "sjw crusades" actually ARE valid. It's just that the tumblr kids are crappy activists.

Racism is a problem! Misogyny is a problem! Our treatment of gay and transpeople is actually a problem!

PLEASE FUCKING STOP DISMISSING EVERY PERSON WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT THIS STUFF AND WORKS IT INTO THEIR CREATIVE OUTPUT AS AN SJW!

As someone who reads or read Tamora Pierce and used to be a fan - people aren't complaining about her inclusion of those topics. She's ALWAYS done that. Her books were hugely empowering to young girls like... a decade ago. People are complaining because she went from including them in a well done, impactful and meaningful way to shoehorning them in blatantly and being an SJW about them. It's not about the issues or giving a shit about them, it's HOW she's doing it that's the problem.

You have a point. It just doesn't apply here.

When did she blatantly shoehorn anything in?

Never. Her books have always been this way.

Her books are so good, and I like the inclusion of certain topics in past books.

I'm just worried that, now that she's "friends" with Mark of Mark Reads, she's going to start adding social justice stuff into her books in the same way that Very Special Episodes talk about real issues, but it feels clunky and out of place, rather than interweaving the books with stuff about racism and sexism in a way that feels natural, as in her previous books.

Did that make sense?

thank you for saying this

This. I understand peoples' frustration with SJWs, but too often the baby gets thrown out with the bathwater.
