Except the problem is right there in the title: stop reading straight cis white men. It is literally a challenge to stop reading, not to read more poc authors or women authors or queer authors or anything like that. Hell, I could do this challenge and not read a single book. It makes it abundantly clear that the most important part is shitting on cishetwhite men instead of actually promoting anything in particular.

As a side note, I went through my reading list after this thing broke, and when I added up all the non white, non male, non straight authors they accounted for well over half and I give not one single shit about this sort of thing. How hard can it be?

Seriously? Are you being clueless on purpose or do you really need everything spelled out for you? Obviously it's implied that you're expected to read books that aren't by straight cis white men if you do the challenge, and not reading at all doesn't count. Fucking christ.

You're one of those people who thinks reverse racism actually exists, huh?
