betty1987le Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi there, I'm really pissed -.- I read like a freak and I like watching Booktubers. Lately there's this thing #diversathon where you read books by non-white, lgbt or what-not people (in translation "I normally wouldn't read this, but since the author is black/gay/whatever, I will read it, because I'm not racist/homophobe/anti-whatever"). I tried to ignore this crap, I just don't watch those videos. Not that I mind those authors, but it's like voting for Obama just because he's black. They're just people, people! Then I started unsubscribing. There was one girl whose every third word was gender And now, Veronica Roth published a new sci-fi book. Everybody were meh at first (no surprise there, Divergent was crap). But after few weeks, some a-hole somewhere wrote that this book is racist because there were some black people that were stereotyped as bad guys Now several Booktubers started apologizing about missing it and how they are so sorry, and it won't happen again, they will screen books much better in the future Please, if you didn't see it, it's not a big deal. Why can't I have nice things? I want to watch normal people without all this PC crap. Can anyone recommend some Booktubers that won't make me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotYeti Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Maybe you can become one. You can be sure there are other people thinking the same thing as you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Mountain Boys Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's weird how ideologies are starting to become 'the holiest of them all', except ad lib holiest with diverse, oppressed, or least racist. I watched the Basic Bro/Basic Bitch videos (by College Humor), the point is these are people who are widespread, all think alike to a point where they are all clones, think they are cool or edgy and don't realize that they are bland people with no personality, only a reflection of who they circle themselves around. I feel like these people have dropped their personality and morals to be encompassed in a culture to be 'right' without question what is right. Doesn't seem like there are many questions at all, only their way or it is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
