I got some Murder mystery/crime drama books from my local used book store recently and I was wondering if that genre has ever been under attack? When it comes to fiction it's my second favorite genre after sci-fi/fantasy and in the last few years that genre has really come under attack from the woke mob. I mean I guess you could say there was always an element of that but now I wouldn't touch most modern day sci-fi or fantasy with a ten foot pole.
I guess since there are female authors in murder mystery you don't hear the usual whiners complain about not being "included". Is that a genre that is safe from the usual suspects?
I don't think it's safe because the genre doesn't exist unless the protagonist "notices things" in order to narrow down the pool of suspects, and in a world where "noticing things" is frowned upon that genre becomes in jeopardy.
That’s true. I remember J.K Rowling got attacked for writing a murder mystery where a trans person was the murderer or something like that.
