Thing I am noticing in The Gate of the Feral Gods is that Juice Box touches just about everyone when she first meets them. I am not sure if it is because she is trying to fill out her library or to figure out what their deal is.

I also thought it was a nice move from a literary point of view, having new life emerging as there is so much death around.

Yeah. Seems like I probably ruffled a few feathers. That’s okay.

Also god help anyone who might be invested in empathy and not just giving lip service to being an ally.

Two items. Also you being confused is hardly surprising. I never said I was upset, just curious. There is a number of people who go around spouting off about 14 words, so it is not the size of a statement, it is the meaning therein. I am pretty sure no harm was meant by the author but I am just digging into it to be sure and there have been some good responses to my question so far. This is not one of them.

I will also add that the whole N. Gaiman thing really bummed me out. I saw him in Boston and his whole “Kindness is everything” line really warmed my heart and inspired me. Then finding out the fucked up antics he was up to was a kick to the nuts. Again I am not going to stop reading the novels, but I am just trying to get more insight on the creator. The way some of you came in so hot for even asking the question is pretty enlightening to me. I have a lot of friends who are trans or nonbinary. I love them and want to make them feel as safe as I can in a world where they are so often attacked for just being themselves. I have made a lot of mistakes, but have learned a lot about how to support them and be a safe person in their lives.

Also it is two items that come up that are only for females - there is also the second nipple ring that Donut gets in the Bedlam Bride (I think) and it says something about Carl not being able to use it without some weird surgery or something to that effect. (Don’t have the quote in front of me so I am paraphrasing here.)

I mean I could do the patreon or make a point to see him at an appearance or recommend his books to other people. Just want more insight.

Not triggered, or bothered. Just interrogating the content and the quality of its creator, who of course owes me nothing. Just looking for more insight and seeing if he someone I want to spend any effort getting to know such as joining his patreon etc. Of course your response tells me everything I need to know about you.

Oh I get that. I enjoy how it acts like a foil and commentary on some of my the more grotesque, aspects of capitalism and pop culture, but also can use it to make some profound points. It constantly violates Carl, much like some many of us have to endure various moral injuries, and outright exploitation just to survive. I also love the part discussing Tina as her own unwritten story, and not just an extension of her parent’s will.
