the "maybe the curtains are just blue" movement really messed up this whole reading literacy thing and I hate that I once agreed with it.

Why do authors suddenly need to be held accountable for what their characters do?

This is my mom whenever she found something I wrote as a kid. I tried writing my own version of Cinderella once and she found it and assumed that because the mom in the book was mean that that meant that I hated her and thought she was a terrible mom so she threw it away 😂

So many Stephen King interviews are like “wow, you must have had such a messed up childhood to think of all these scary ideas” no… he’s just a very creative person.

dude i’m actually so sick of the portrayal=promotion thing. like just because something happens in the book doesn’t mean that the author is condoning it.

This is like the opposite of “The curtains were just blue” this is more like “the curtains were blue because the author knows I hate blue personally”

This is honestly how I feel about ALOT of media criticism accounts. And recent criticism of media in general. "Well why would you write about this horrible thing unless you have/will/want to desperately in real life?"

Phoenix M.B. :
I do fear writing in an age of moral absolutes, where fiction is held to an impossible standard of "setting an example" even on the left wing, which kills nuance and complexity and stifles creativity. I mean sure, my stories have something to say about right and wrong, but my characters aren't perfect people. They're plausible, complex people. You have to use your own brain to figure out when they're doing good things and when they're not. If you aren't practicing that kind of discernment when reading fiction, where are you learning those skills? ARE you learning those skills? Are you thinking for yourself, ever?

I read about someone who had this issue as a “spicy novel” writer. People assumed she actually was put in these situations, and would ask what she really did, and she’s like, “no… that’s not me. I didn’t actually do these.”

God the part about not rooting for the main character is so real😭 Ive always loved the villains and antiheroes my whole life and i miss when people would just be like "oh yeah villains are hot" and leave me alone. Like yeah, thats a way shallower take than im thinking, but at least that was acceptance and not "BuT yOu MuSt bE A TerRiBlE PerSON tO liKE thAT gUy"
