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!!
books are meant to make you question life!! existence!! personal morals and values!! some books are meant to portray the disgusting reality of humans and how they can exist in the world, even as wretched, gut-wrenching characters! such is life!
terrible and problematic people/situations exist!! not just in books but in your everyday life and that cannot be policed! in books, its meant to be explored. that does not mean such authors condone problematic behaviors!!
@veretianbxtch @fangsxbangs Absolutely. I don’t condone kidnapping, SA, stalking, or murder, but it happens in my series. I’m not even going to bother noting I don’t condone it. It’s common sense. The bad guy did a thing. He’s a bad guy. I’m not. Case closed. 😉
