- pinewurst 1y agoCan you blame them though? Contemporary non-genre fiction is almost completely written as/for signalling. Maybe there’s a chance that this bolus of woke will pass…
- goyagoji 1y agoThere's more than enough historical literature of a high enough ilk that missing references to it is a signal. I think contemporary literature can do whatever it wants and its not an adequate explanation, OTOH contemporary other media being an important reference is an explanation for not reading.
