If their book is all about how strong poc women are awesome and cishet white guys are scum, about zero cis het white men are going to cry about it because none of them are going to read it.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
lol this.

And I mean I hate to say it, but if you write a book for the purpose of glorifying WOC, and putting down white men, it frankly doesn't sound like much of a book (if your social message comes before your plot, your book is probably gonna suck). And I doubt it's going to be lining the shelves at the local superstore. No one's going to read it.

Or they will read it to fantasize about the girls and fap to them.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
They could do both.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
They'll both not read it and read it while fapping?

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes.

No, not really, it just bothers me - the reductive explanation of ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS FAP.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...why the heck would they fap to it? of all the books out there that one could fap to, why a "POC WOMEN ARE STRONG AND EMPOWERED" book?

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Because men are just impulsive and sex-obsessed, they don't really have the cognitive faculties to judge a book on its meaning.

Also feminism is for men.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
lol

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, that sort of reductive gender-essentialist notion is exactly what feminists and SJ advocates claim to be acting against.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
To be clear: I am a feminist making a snarky comment against what I take to be a sub-current of contemporary feminist practice.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-13 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that came across as sarcasm tbqh....

There are fap challenges. Fapping to some pseudo-activist book meant to piss you off is probably ironically satisfying.

I knew a spanking fetishist once who masturbated to parenting books by fundamentalist Christians.

I don't know if that's brilliant or creepy.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-12 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Brown girls are hot.

Well, I'm not gonna question their kinks.

IT'S MY KINK OKAY?

Certainly, none of the ones who'd read it are the ones who'd be inclined to dislike it. Just the ones who'd be inclined to cheer it.

I wouldn't read it either...I mean I'd read it if it were all about WOC and (insert whatever demographic here) being interesting characters in their own right then yes def, but if it's about putting down an entire other group of people and there's no plot or actual character development, I just wouldn't be interested.

To be fair, there are always people who will complain about something even if they don't read/watch/listen to it.

(Anonymous) 2015-04-13 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
I'd most definitely read and support a book about empowering women and people of color, but if it's intention is just to spread more hate then I'm more likely to skip it.

You can be empowering without degrading towards others.
