She's so banned you can only buy The Handmaid's Tale on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, Kindle and audiobook. WE MUST STOP THIS CENSORSHIP https://www.amazon.com/dp/038549081X/?bestFormat=true&k=handmaid%27s%20tale%20book&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_k2_1_7_de&crid=21GRLAVT6OWU7&sprefix=handmai

So censored you can read it for free on Kindle Unlimited.

End of the article is interesting: Atwood stated for the record that she's always been attacked more from the political left than from the right.

"I think the right thinks I'm irrelevant," Atwood said. "The left thinks that I should have been preaching their sermon, whatever it may happen to be, and that I am therefore a traitor for not having done that which they themselves would do."

Her response to that, she said, is unprintable.

"It involves a finger," Atwood said.

She got the JK Rowling treatment it seems.

That show got 6 seasons? I guess that was before Hollywoke had started making nothing but flops so they could keep an unprofitable show going for that long, but still...

Handmaid’s Tale is basically hyper feminist YA slop complete with rape fantasies. That shit has and will always sell like hotcakes. The reason most modern woke media doesn’t sell is because it’s being injected into male franchises like Star Wars and Marvel, which don’t appeal to girls or women.

Someone posted a synopsis of the story here once. The story is so utterly retarded that I couldn't believe anyone would read this shit. Then I heard of 'Morning Glory Milking Farm' and it's 21000 ratings on Amazon and stopped being surprised at what media women like to consume.

Once you've understood the commonality of certain ideas across all women's porn books, you start to get a better understanding of their worldview and the politics/ideology downstream of it.

Things like men wandering around just looking to "take" women who catch their interest, beta men playing 4d Chess Gaslighting over a lifetime to try and trick girls into not being with their "true love," that every penis is as long as a forearm (and they can totally take it) and other ultra dramatic stuff where all men are constantly only thinking with their dicks to the exclusion of everything else.

Which is why they have such paranoia about rape around every corner, think every politician is trying to "own/control their bodies," fear that every incel is an actual threat to them, and their politics all come together from this.

The success of the Twilight series tells you everything you need to know about women’s literature.

I think 50 Shades of Grey is far more damning than Twilight.

Isn't a handmaids tale the one where the Women are colour coded by rank and everyone who "protests" by wearing the costume is wearing the wrong colour?

Yep, far as my understanding goes the "red" is meant to be for the hot, young, breeding slaves (totally not a porn fantasy btw) while the older, unattractive women are given grey instead.

So it says a lot about everyone there when you see middle aged, ugly, fat or some combo of all garbed in red. They consider themselves the types that ultra rich and powerful men totally want to enslave to use as lust buckets.

One of her books got on a list of "potentially restricted books" in Alberta. The gov't asked the school library bunch to make a list of books with overt sex or child sex in them to maybe restrict from little kids. So they (being leftist bureaucrats!) added hundreds of popular books to the list of grooming books and "leaked" the POTENTIAL list (not yet submitted) to blame it on the Conservatives.

She also used to admit that Handmaid's Tale was based on ISLAM (because obviously it is!) but reversed that!

I probably read the first two chapters from a pirated epub, and it is Islam to a t, there's nothing against Christians in it, just the deranged the think like this

"some schools made my adult themed book inaccessible to 6 year olds, so it's banned" type of thought process, I bet.

It's always funny to watch them talk about banned books where you can go to the Banned Books section at any bookstore and pick up a copy. Part victim worship, part trying to wedge their crappy book next to Tom Sawyer and Catcher in the Rye.
