*bows head in prayer on top of my keyboard* I know what you're getting at but also let's be fair to the other side, there aren't any writers expecting you in particular to care about anything concerning their work. Because they don't care about or even know you. Let writers write what they want to write and do the legwork of finding books that do happen to appeal to you. Amen.

You must have read a totally different secret because this isn’t just about books.
And OP is valid in calling out a bad trope that fuels RL issues that include, but aren’t limited to, sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, and general entitled assholery.

[(Anonymous)]

Excuse me. Substitute 'books' for 'all media'.
Also that's an additional problem there that you just brought up - fearing the use of tropes that might lead to RL issues. A writer is not inherently responsible for how an audience may or may not interpret their work. An audience is responsible for their own reactions, Steven King's novel 'Rage' for historical example.

That said, yes, of course there are of course some writers that are assholes and what they write about may very well suck. (As I'm sure some clever commenters will throw back at me. Which, hey, fair.)

Double SA
Stephen King, with 'ph' not a 'v'. Because I love breaking any offhanded contrarian point I may or may not have had with a spelling fuckup. I'll cut my losses now.

Tired worn out tropes that the secret is pointing out they’re tired of consuming. And good luck avoiding the trope because movies and tv studios and all the big publishers have flooded the market with media featuring it. Like what you like, but it’s ok for OP to be sick of it and they’re not alone because this is a constant discussion in fandom spaces.

[(Anonymous)]

Of course. It goes both ways though. Give a secret, get a comment that may or may not agree.

never write like this again.

And +1 on above anon, way to completely misread the secret entirely.

come on. come on. people absolutely care in general or in toto in place of the specific, to the point where it amounts to the same thing. and frankly, given the way author-audience interactions have developed, I wouldn't even say it's always in general anymore and I think specifically seeking out audience interpretations to comment on like some authors do makes "well they weren't thinking about y/n" irrelevant.
