idk why people act like “problematic content” in books is some new thing. books have always challenged status quo, they have always been an avenue for highlighting sensitive topics and portraying questionable circumstances/existences.
idk what the booktwt drama is about today but i don’t like how up in arms everyone is over “problematic content” when thats whats books are for!!! not everything is meant to be rainbows and butterflies!!! things are meant to challenge your morals!! to make you think!!
@veretianbxtch I feel like it’s the new readers having issues with this. OG book readers prefer some questionable topics in books, it’s supposed to trigger emotion in my opinion.
@veretianbxtch Books are meant to do a lot of things. What they’re NOT for is limiting ideas. Everyone…write and read whatever you want and ignore the gatekeepers.
@veretianbxtch @cannibalyaoi That's what literature should do. What's the point of art if not to question the norm?
