Please don't sue me for plagiarism.īut just to make it extra clear: it isn't Rose's sluttiness that pisses me off and makes me loathe her, it's her hypocrisy and objectifying of human beings. I'm going to steal a commenter's words here: slut-shaming is not about the word, it's about a mind set. No need to be defensive/insulted over it.Įdit, because I am fucking sick of people coming up to the comments section, especially without reading through the previous pages of comments, and stomp in, guns blazing with accusations of racism and slutshaming.ġ) Racism / wtf does Race have to do with anything!? / stfu you racist cow! / Stop putting irrelevant topics in your review, bitch!Ģ) Slutshaming / How dare you call her the S word! / Girls like you are setting back feminism by a few decades! / Other holier-than-thou commentsįirst of all - if you're going to start accusing me of slut-shaming simply because of my use of the word "slut", GTFO. Just because I think this book is stupid, does not mean I think people who enjoy it are stupid. This is a review of a book, not a fact sheet. I've never deleted/moderated comments before, as that goes against my beliefs on free and public discourse, but any future offensive or judgemental/critical-of-people-instead-of-the-book comments will be ignored and deleted.

But I am also free to moderate what goes on in my space. But please keep the ad hominems and accusations (and not just directed at me, but also other commenters) at home.Įveryone's free to say what they wish on a public forum. If you wish to add your own thoughts of the book, that's also perfectly fine. Be thus warned.įuture commenters: if you disagree with the review, that is perfectly fine and normal. So as a pre-empt, I highly suggest you not read this review if you can’t handle negative criticism of books you love. Eight years and this review is still attracting mad fangurls.
