You are talking about sensitivity readers right? Probably one of the most retarded inventions from SJW types. Literal guardians of identity politics lol.

I've brought this up in the KIA Faggit subs before, but if you want a chuckle check out sensitivity readers on the freelancer sites. It's just another way for no skill retards to grift. Don't count on these grifters to stand by their work either. They straight up say that hiring them isn't protection against the High Inquisitor of the Church of Woke. It's not even a protection racket. It's just a transparently obvious grifting scheme.

How could it possibly be protection when SJWs will invent entire new ways to be offended in the length of time it takes to edit a book.

The only rule to the SJW game is: you lose

So that has to be a reason a lot of main stream books today from big publishers are garbage

It's very predatory, and newb writers are so desperate to follow accepted market trends and become a "real" author that they will lap up whatever the Socjus community tells them. They hear any old snake oil, and take it as gospel because they haven't developed enough wisdom to do their own thing and rely on their own instincts. Also it doesn't help that most authors are fairly neurotic, and stress out about finding the one single "correct" way to do things, even when the reality isn't that simple and there isn't one single correct way. When Socjus sells itself as "the correct thing," newb writers latch onto it like it's a fact of the universe just because they're so insecure and lacking in experience and hungry to be legitimized.

These SJW bastards basically killed the entire genre of pulp fantasy, because it pandered to traditionally masculine ideas. There's no taste for that in modern books anymore. Most audiences are women, and most modern authors don't have a traditional masculine mindset. Most of them are whipped, horrified of committing some perceived slight. They are very insecure, and releasing a book is a very personal thing. It's a slice of the author's mind, so an attack on it cuts an amateur author pretty deep. As a result new authors are very vulnerable to peer pressure and mockery.

This has allowed Socjus to effectively rule every writing community. It's really annoying. I used to frequent a lot of those websites, but since they've all become woke I can't discuss my work anywhere without getting buried in "hurr durr sexist hurr durr problematic" bullshit.

I've recently been digging deep (well, deeper than normal) into professional writing standards and it blows me how much the mormons (just look up Bran Sanderson lectures) are killing this scene. On the other hand, we get shoved with GARBAGE advice when we look up "writing guides" on Youtube.

A typical Bran Sanderson/Shadiversity writing video:

  • Double space everything and indent your paragraphs. You will be rejected instantly if you don't.
  • Check your perspectives. Don't switch between different types of 3rd person by accident. You will be rejected.
  • There are 3 categories of fiction writing levels, each one aimed at a specific target market. The customer is always right, and your word count has to be aimed at the age and demographic of the type of reader you're aiming for.
  • Show don't tell, cut the adjectives saying how emotional something is, and actually write emotional dialogue.
  • and so on.

"writing advice" from Leftie Youtube:

  • Don't write orcs as bad people. That would be perpetuating racial stereotypes.
  • If you write about rape, it has to be delivering a specific message about trauma or empowerment. You might end up perpetuating rape.
  • Focus on THEMES, and try to drive your entire narrative around delivering that one message you have in mind INTO your audience's head. If you pick an environmental THEME, the goal of the story is to MAKE the audience become more environmentally conscious by the end of it.
  • Focus on feelings and surprise, you don't want to bore them so keep bombarding your reader with newer and flashier things they haven't seen before. If they don't feel something, you've failed. Add more special effects until they do.
  • You don't want to do a boring standard story, You want to subvert their expectations. All the fucking time. Everyone knows the man has to save the woman. Nobody is going to see the shocking twist of a woman that don't need no man, coming from miles away.

Seems to me one side of writing advice actually knows what the fuck they're doing, the other is the writing equivalent of overly relying on cheap gimmicks and special effects, when they're not using the medium as another tool to insert their political opinions into people's heads.

The last point.. sooner or later, the main character of the terminator will be a trans, black, muslim with prostetic arms and down syndrome.

And they will blame franchise fatique for its failure instead of their dumb gimmicky shit.

I think whoever designed mormon culture was secretly a time traveler, or something, because an enclosed, insular, localized subculture/belief system has basically got a ton of natural defenses against globalized corporate communism.

Mormons aren't really protected against it though. Look at Romney for one. The Mormon church puts a lot of emphasis on missionary type work and isn't opposed to mass migration.

Pretty much every religion that urges you to go out and seek converts (a good fraction of them) has a fatal flaw in a globalist age where millions of people are invited in as low-wage slaves. Successful 21st century religions need to look out over their own people first and resist the temptation to look at mass migration as a conversion opportunity.

I was merely commenting on Mormonism's natural defenses, not looking at it's outliers. I'm sure a basic questionnaire among Mormons in Utah would probably say they fucking hate the guy for stabbing the president in the back.

But the “strong woman who doesn’t need a man” isn’t overused or the bait and switch tactic isn’t?

No big tittie, feminine characters in western made AAA games in last 5+ years. Notice that for movies too, no big tittie main female.
