I don't agree. I mean, I don't think that - for instance - a character calling time-out on a zombie apocalypse for a pronoun lecture is necessarily bad. It's only bad if the story expects you to take the zombie apocalypse seriously and literally. And that's the kind of thing that I would refer to as bad, awkward writing - a tonal mismatch. But I disagree that it's intrinsically bad writing. If you want to write a story that's nominally about a zombie apocalypse but actually about queer identity, I think that's a fine thing to do.

I mean this conversation is just so utterly pointless I don't know why I'm even responding but that really is how I feel

The story does, in fact, expect you to take the zombie apocalypse seriously. The pronoun lecture comes directly after several characters you're supposed to actually give a shit about have just died horribly.

It's not a story that's nominally about a zombie apocalypse but actually about queer identity, it's a story that's marketed and, for the most part, written about a zombie apocalypse that stops dead to shoehorn in awkward 101-level lectures.

(And no, it's not a hypothetical zombie story. It actually exists.)

I’m glad you have low standards. It must make your life much easier. Just acknowledge that some people expect better of their queer fiction, and go back to reveling in garbage.

there's nothing wrong with fiction that's specifically about queerness

DA

This doesn't have much to do with the comment you replied to. Is it a misfire?
