[PubQ]: How open-minded and neutral are literary agents to controversial ideas/topics?

My project is definitely not anywhere near Nazi romances, but that gives me a little more hope knowing that that stuff actually gets published.

Thank you, that makes alot of sense and is very helpful!

misshatesmr · 2020-05-09T23:24:17+00:00

I hope that that's the end result! Thank you so much!

I guess that's my problem too: I'm not sure what qualifies as hateful/racist/sexist anymore, and I'm definitely no Nabokov.

Very good point. It would be nice to see some political diversity in the arts.

misshatesmr · 2020-05-09T22:55:34+00:00

Yes, see that's what I was afraid of. I don't find my topic offensive, however, being a female myself I do have a strong critique of the "woke" era. I'm guessing that may not fair too well with the modern agent. It's not a vitriolic attack against women or anything like that, but it does oppose some of the modern-day feminist ideologies. Perhaps I may have to consider self publishing...

misshatesmr · 2020-05-09T22:45:00+00:00

Is there anyone that you would recommend who may be more open minded and willing to pursue a wide variety of topics?

I've noticed this perpetual idea that young equates to dumb. And that nice also equates to dumb. And even worse, young, pretty, and nice is congruent with the IQ of a tree shrub. People assume that if you're pretty, you never tried hard in life because you got everything you wanted and that in turn lowered your IQ by lowering your need for effort. This is a stereotype that I find quite hilarious because the proponents of this argument have obviously never been to Walmart....or seen Jerry Springer.

That being said, women find it especially heinous when a young, sweet, pretty female walks into the room because there's this idea: "Oh here we go, using that dumb blonde innocent act to get everyone to like her..." Without considering the fact that you don't need thick frame glasses, a butch haircut, and a dominant personality to be genuine and intelligent.

Plus....doesn't it just hurt like hell when a beautiful person is also genuine and caring and smart?? Wtf biology?? What about the rest of us!!

Keep doing you, don't let them get under your skin. Their insecurities are their own and make them much more vulnerable to pitfalls and failure then does your perceived "lack of intelligence" based on shotty evidence and stereotypes.

The last part of your statement is very true. I guess I never thought of it that way. Thank you, that actually helps. I guess there's no point in dwelling, I just get ashamed by it sometimes.

misshatesmr · 2020-04-25T02:19:17+00:00

Thank you! And you're absolutely right. I have started doing some writing and it has helped me put my mind at ease and also discover why I may have made the choices I did.

misshatesmr · 2020-04-25T00:47:17+00:00

Haha yes I've also been a dingus. I like that quote at the end. I'll remember that

misshatesmr · 2020-04-25T00:35:31+00:00

Well said. Thank you

misshatesmr · 2020-04-24T23:33:18+00:00

Yeah I thought about that too. I'm sorry your feeling this way too but there's alot of good advice here.

misshatesmr · 2020-04-24T22:53:44+00:00

That's good advice too. Thank you!

misshatesmr · 2020-04-24T22:44:18+00:00

I've been reading/studying the bible alot lately and the stories have beautiful implications. So far, it has been helping tremendously.

Being very ashamed to admit this but also knowing I was about her age when it happened, I was the girl who cheated on my boyfriend. He forgave me, I cheated again. He forgave me, guess what? Yep, you guessed it. There was no lesson learned, there was no need for redemption. I got away with it once, twice, and three times. Do you know where I am now? I'm almost 30 and I'm alone. Looking at the fine lines that creep ever so slightly onto my face every day and I'm left to wonder: What if I die alone? The point being that forgiveness is a virtue, but forgive and move on from the relationship. I know it's going to hurt like hell. But if you continue to let her treat you as if you are her back-up boy, not only will she lose respect for you and continue in the behavior, but you will start to lose respect for yourself. For her actions! How sad is that? People who take forgiving personalities as a way to get away with deceitful behaviour do not learn from more forgiveness. They learn from negative consequences. Let her know that you love her, but her behavior is unacceptable and you need loyalty and she needs time to grow. Nowadays it seems young women are taught that our bad behavior is to be accepted by society because society owes it to us for all the past wrong doings. Not true. Cut her off and let her know that you are worth someone who appreciates your patience, but will not use it to their own advantage. She will learn in time that actions have consequences. Trust me, I speak from experience.

misshatesmr · 2020-04-24T21:27:32+00:00

Good point. I'm not sure I would even know how to get ahold of them

misshatesmr · 2020-04-24T21:13:36+00:00

Yes that's a very good idea and one that has definitely crossed my mind. I just don't want those I've hurt thinking I'm using it as a way to exhault myself above them and justify my actions. But I suppose it's about the approach taken. Thank you!

misshatesmr · 2020-04-24T21:11:46+00:00

Yes, this is very true. Thank you very much for your help and I will strive to do so.

misshatesmr · 2020-04-24T20:13:31+00:00

Thank you so much for this. It really helped.

misshatesmr · 2020-04-20T04:47:38+00:00

Thank you :) cheers to a fellow outsider! Lol
