      @@user-gd2ys5tu8d kind of a weird comparison. you're noticing this difference because the concept of a "caucasian race" is outdated. lumping russian people in with israeli people is not a useful way to measure ethnicity unless you have creepy race-science intentions, which is why it's not used anymore (except for like, censuses, which imo it isn't useful for either). in topics where whiteness is still relevant, we talk about "white people" instead which is still broad, but not as much. it's almost like race is a social construct and not really based in science at all, so the only purpose for them is talking about social dynamics and not DNA.
      "at least she was paying attention to your culture" is weird too. noticing the existence of indonesia is not a compliment. lumping it into a monolith and misusing its cultures, DEFINITELY not a compliment. "exotic brown people fascinate me" is not a new form of racism and it's never been nice, you're not breaching a novel concept.

    Heyo! I’m autistic and it’s honestly so awesome to hear you call out ableism in books! Like, yeah, it sucked to hear that was in the book in the first place (tho I wasn’t exactly expecting the novel to be morally upstanding in the first place lol) but I kinda have become numb to certain levels of ableism in fiction. But hearing other people not being numb to it, and calling it out is so so SO refreshing.

      The autistic community like many other communities have fought hard to even be recognised as a diverse range people and not honestly what we have seen in the media.
      I write comments like this because if you are writing a character whom is seen as a minority group, you should do it right or it can cause the negative stereotypes to be reinforced.
      Especially when the minorities groups are just portrayed as villains.
      If you want a bad guy who is a apart of a minority group, don’t make the reason they are bad.
      Censoring stuff out won’t make it go away, it will just make it harder for people to understand people like myself and others who are minorities and help us.
      Being treated like everyone else and to have the same accessibility to neurotypical people is what we want not to be treated like “paradise” as you say.
      Also using autism as a comparison sexism is not a great look.
      Autism is not a learnt behaviour.
      Sexism is.

    a random thing that i learned recently is that for a case to be considered in self-defense, there needs to be both an objective and a subjective threat. So, she could have very well be scared of him, but him standing outside the house does not pose a treat by itself. More so the existence of a video with her voice-over narrating an aggravating tale, can be used as evidence of premeditation, because why would you film someone just before shooting, unless it is to gather evidence. The same can be said about the gun, the fact that it has a single shot, that it was her who got the gun in the first place, that it was done that particular day.

    • @KaiInMotion
      @KaiInMotion 2 года назад +28

      Most authors do not care if you leave a negative review, in fact most authors will genuinely just understand and be grateful you gave them a chance: all writers are readers too so they mostly get it. Also sometimes it's not taboo for an author to interact in a certain concept, liking a post or a positive review and maybe saying thanks for reading is usually considered okay. Arguing with reviewers about their own opinion, acting like you were personally attacked, etc, are all interactions where the book community will usually rally around the reader and tell the author to back off. Or at least shade them to hell lol.

    When defense attorneys do things like this, I wonder if they know their client is guilty and want to appear as if they're doing their job, but also don't want to give them a chance to get away with it. Or, he simply didn't like his client, because how could he? And didn't want to put up with them anymore.
