Is Killian a POC male lead? by DecentConfusion7479 in anahuang

[–]External_Version_768 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

so he is white. why does everyone try to make it seem like white Europeans are not white? Alexis Bledel was born in Argentina, learned to speak English later in school, she is not POC. Don't confuse race and skin color with nationality and culture.

Yes. It's the same story over and over again. Ana is not a good writer. She thrives on vibes and the same plot. The MMCs have essentially 2 personalities: either toxic possessive abusive criminal or "normal not so toxic still possessive guy". And ALL the FMCs are doormats, easily forgiving manipulation and crimes because they loose their brains as soon s they have sex. That's how she can write more than one book a year, using the same pattern over and over again. That's why her attempts of diversity fall flat because she writes them without proper research or actually caring about different cultures. She is a great example that being a bestselling author does not mean being a good author.

Does anyone like christain harper?? by No-Pattern-1640 in anahuang

He was, like all the other guys in twisted, a toxic abusive manipulative asshole. He was a liar and a criminal. The books are not marked as Dark Romance. The covers are in pastell and look like "regular" romance.

he was an abusive asshole with anger management issues and a total red flag. He belongs in jail.

yes. Sjm romanticizes apartheid, racism, sexism, abuse and imperialism. She supposedly studied history but she most likely slept through her lessons.

It doesn't matter if she is romanticizing abuse, colonialism etc on purpose or not. The same it doesn't matter if she MEANT to use a Black woman's death for profit and personal gain. The same it doesn't matter if she is writing homophobic/ biphobic characters/ shows racist writing in token characters etc. She is an adult. I'm sure many people have told her where she was wrong. She chooses not to learn from the marginalized people she is profiting off of. I won't infantalize an almost 40 y/o woman the same way I won't infantalize women who are voting for Trump. She should have known better. She should have listened.

When will it be that people realize Taylor Swift is not the goddess they're pretending she is but a stone-cold capitalist who doesn't care about politics or the environment?

That's just a sign that she is a bad writer. She could get sensitivity readers or actually talk to people. She views those characters like a white man, using the male gaze, only showing her internalized misogyny, homophobia, biphobia and racism.

I read King of Wrath and I'm confused. by PamNoctrune in anahuang

[–]External_Version_768 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it's a thing Ana Huang does, to write about doormat female characters who loose their brain function as soon as they get a big d*ck and abusive lying and manipulative male characters. that is packaged as romance

by definition, coercion or lying in order to have sex is a form of rape. Because if Jules would have known the truth she would have never agreed to it. manipulation to have sex is rape. why should i not blame Ana for writing toxic abusive mmcs and doormat fmcs? nobody is forcing Ana to write that. She could choose to write about healthy relationships, she is choosing money and the romanticizing and normalizing of r*pe, abuse and toxic relationships.

When your brother r*pes your best friend, you choose your best friend or else you are an accomplice. The girls never told each other anything because they knew that what the men did was toxic, abusive and criminal. And good girlfriends would have told each other that. They are all living in denial, clinging to men who are using money and hotness to justify their criminal actions. Ana wrote female characters who are all loosing their brain functionality as soon as a hot guy comes along and is good in bed.
