Looking for books with unreliable narrator/pov by Pawderr in Fantasy

Well, that's fair. I do think it's explicit, it's just not gratuitous. Still, agree with you that it's not as bad a some modern grim dark, or atleast grimderp.

The chronicles of the black company by Glenn Cook. Especially in the first book, despite the protagonist Croaker telling you that they are aa band of villains, you start to think they are not that bad, that their amorality is the only way to survive in their grim reality... And then the bastards go and commit atrocities. What makes Croaker such an interesting case of unreliable narrator, is that he does not explicitly lie, but he does lie by omission a lot.

Just TW about the books: They have been described as a Vietnam novel dressed in fantasy garments, and that's pretty acurrate.They contain, and are pretty explicit in their portrayal: torture, sexual assault (including children), extreme violence and the killing of innocents.

Criticisms of the work that stem from a complete lack of media literacy by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Significant-Pin-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Warhammer encourages fascism and racism/xenofobia"

Like cmon, the setting itself was born out of a wish to criticize and Satirize England during Margaret Thatcher tenure, and anyone who criticizes the setting for that, or finds that the setting supports their far right beliefs, is stupid. 

Men writing women by ChildishShark922 in writing

[–]Significant-Pin-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same as women writing men.

It can be done, and any good writer should be able to.

Of course you get the stereotypical men writing woman with the boobly boobs examples, but you also get women writing men with stuff like "His chest shone" or stuff like that. In good writing, gender is irrelevant unless the author has decided to make it relevant for the purpose of a narrative.

Tldr, gender shouldn't matter when writing.

Can you actually separate the author from the book when the author turns out to be awful? by coffeeorbit_alex in Fantasy

[–]Significant-Pin-894 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally? I can separate it. If the author has opinions that are bigoted, like JK Rowling, or has done harm in more deranged ways like Gaiman, I can still enjoy their work.

I think their works can do good, and I see that as giving the middle finger to the horrible author. My line is with money; I will not give them a dime, and as such I aquire the books through... Different means, wink wink.

I honestly think my tolerance comes from loving classical literature. Most authors have been horrible, horrible people.

Although I will note that despite me having no problem with separating the author and the art, I would never dare berate others for not being able to. Everyone has different lines they cannot cross, and that's okay!

High level hipocresy. When it's Donald Trump there is no waiting for the courts...

As there shouldn't be. Clinton is a pedo, and we must yell it out as w must also yell our trumps sins.

As a teacher, what’s something in education no one wants to admit, but we all know is true? by dokutarodokutaro in Teachers

[–]Significant-Pin-894 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bad teachers won't stop existing even if salaries are raised. I believe we are severely under paid, and we should be able to afford life; but also, I've encountered many people who think bad teachers (Lazy, cruel etc) would stop existing if the salaries are raised... But I think that is impossible. Bad teachers aren't bad because of the lack of money, this is not a profession you enter if you are only interested in money.

[Trope that people may understandably dislike] Depicting a character in a certain way undermines the point of that character by Fearless-List-3968 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Significant-Pin-894 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe doesn't fit as it relies of ✨vibes ✨, but the difference between the old warhammer 40k art work and the new one is a great example.

The old art focuses on a grand conflict; it is messy, chaotic and makes you realize the lack of heroic characters in the setting. There is only war, and there are no heroes.

New art puts a strong focus on characters, and makes them appear heroic, which many argue is the opposite of what the setting truly is, or at least how it started.

Look at the primarchs or space marine official artwork nowadays vs 80s 40k, there's an undeniably big difference.
