@noah.wunn: Authors used to publicly tear each other’s work apart and it was normal. Now the whole landscape only allows positivity, and we may have lost real criticism in the process. #BookTok #LiteraryHistory #WritingCommunity #BookCommunity #Hemingway

I think writing quality would increase from authors being able to criticize their peers, but since they share the same publishers/ literary agents I guess they aren’t allowed to 🤷‍♂️

that kinda sounds like the way ancient philosophers used to beef, right? like the whole "behold, a man" situation?

Imagine how many more great books we could have if criticism wasn't conflated with hate. If people, authors and readers alike, weren't afraid to share honest, maybe brutal, opinions on works that miss their mark. Respectfully, of course.

i think about this all the time. writers are readers first. yet now it feels like i can't openly talk about books or other authors i dislike, because those authors are technically my "colleagues" now. which is such a strange, and frankly, stupid expectation of this industry. because why does becoming an author make my honesty as a reader suddenly feel hostile?

Come get me when someone beefs with Colleen Hoover. She needs to be humbled.

i see so much discourse online about how authors cannot ever negatively review or critique other authors good lord the book community is so sensitive I see dumb discourse every week. I wanna see beef that isn't "are books with bi woman allowed to call themselves sapphics?" i want REAL LITERARY CRITICISM. Also...bullying and cruelty still happens. Readers are so awful to authors.

This is why I love Andrzej Sapkowski because he doesn't hold back, and doesn't have an ego about his own writing ability. (Part of why I hate George RR Martin too.)

We could bring it back… Who wants to start a beef? I’m not published yet but we could prearrange to publicly detest each other? 🤷‍♀️

I have an ongoing beef with @Andrew K. Clark everyone should buy and read his book so we can make fun of him for it! Ha! That’ll get him.
