    If we look at Emimen's whole ass career it's also possible that the warning label will just cause young people to purchase or borrow books based on the fact that they're not meant to, which also will shift culture in a boring way that we've already seen before.

  • @user-uj9cb8hm2k
    @user-uj9cb8hm2k 21 годину тому

    i don't really think that putting a 18+ label on a book will stop children from reading it. i can assure you as a former reading kid, i've read pretty much 18+ books when i was 12 and that didn't do anything wrong with me. i had some traumatizing things going on in my life, y'know, and wordfucking wasn't one of them. also trying to remove sex from romance books is some purist ass move, like, come on, people have sex, and if you don't like it, don't read romance books or scroll past the smut parts (like i do. im ace, so)

    • @user-uj9cb8hm2k
      @user-uj9cb8hm2k 20 годин тому

      and a word about queer books. in my country it's been several years since the government banned the "LGBT propaganda" for children, so any media that depicts any queer characters should be labeled as 18+ media. and so everyone did it. and no one cared, we had our queer books et cetera but. not so long ago they banned all "queer propaganda", even for adults. and guess what that means? literal danger for queer people if someone rat them out to police. so yeah, censorship is a fucking nightmare. (and i'm not even starting on all repressive laws our government made up in last decade. like, there's a lot to talk about. we need a revolution in here or something)

    As a teen I was just indifferent to Twilight at first. The hate started growing when adults kept asking me if I liked it, and I got sick of it. Now I hate it because I resent that Stephenie Meyer managed to get an agent and so many fans for a book she only wrote in three months, while I worked on my books for years and hardly anyone wants them, And having grown up with girl power stuff (Sailor Moon, Powerpuff Girls, etc.) I found Bella insulting.

    I think opinion of her got hindered by being the first change in companion of new era, she got directly compared to rose who had built up attatchment from 2 seasons and a lot of fans hadnt gotten used to companions changing, which is lame cause the actor playing martha is really good she just didnt have anything to work with

    For those interested, in years since this video was posted there have been more books written on the topic. Two recent historical fiction titles: Defending Alice: A Novel of Love and Race in the Roaring Twenties by author Richard Stratton (written from the perspective of the attorney), and the upcoming "Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander" (focusing more on Alice's story) by Denny S. Bryce.

    You don't know history as well as you think. Kentucky declared its neutrality in 1861 after the battle of Fort Sumter. Also, 360,000 white men died fighting for black freedom. Rember that I descended from slaves myself, and I understand that good and evil has no color. Black owned slaves in America and Africa.

  • @sss-jn5rm

    It's very interesting how you said Art is like the most obvious character for you,but you can't understand him at all? Like he didn't have the sauce to be successful by himself and just in partners?The movie is telling all the contrary,he became a better player and more confident when Patrick wasn' t in his life. Tashi told you he became better player in Stanford and when Tashi met him in Cincinnati,he was already a professional player that had already a better career than Patrick. He was playing master 1000 level,most important tournament after grand slam. Why would Tashi chose to coach someone that doesn't have potential to be successful as a single player,do you people even understand Tashi ?the man had a very good career and won 6 grand slams in 6 years,his career isn't even believable,he played against best tennis player in history. May be the one that really needed Art in his life was Patrick,he became a flop when he was alone. And you talk about Art having the need of tearing down Patrick when this is the first time he is really fighting back,patrick is the one always tearing down Art,most of the time we saw them together,Patrick is embarrassing Art,he was most of the time not intimidated by him because he didn't respect him as a competition at all.

    I wouldn’t call Paul a villain or a hero. I would call him a tragic anomaly, or pawn. The face of a movement. The true villains are the Bene Gesserit, the pregnant Lady Jessica, and Alia Atreides. They’re the ones who have the power to manipulate the situation. Paul is the face and the voice that the Fremen will follow but the script that Paul is given was written by the Bene Gesserit and his mother insists that he should follow it for their survival. Paul’s hands are still dirty and I don’t want to let him off the hook but he isn’t the source of the problem. Look at the system that exalted Paul.

    Here’s a perspective from a frustrated shopper: I was invested in Reylo because I thought they were going to explore what it means to have to kill the man you love for the greater good of the universe, and even if that is a ridiculous thing to try to sell, daisy and Adam sold it for me. Where the new series fucked up was teasing so many couples in the beginning, especially since daisy and John had good chemistry as well. They used Boyega to market the Movie so it would get seats in theaters and then sidelined his character completely. This is what originally spoiled the movie and every interesting idea they explored including reylo. It makes me mad how they hint at Finn having a crush on Rey and then completely ignore it like “oh now there’s a white love interest in the mix time to ignore Finn” it’s honestly so unnecessarily racist and ruins the reylo storyline as well as Finns character. If they wanted a happy love story they should have written Rey and Finn as a couple and if they wanted a tragic one they should have written a version of reylo where Finns feelings for Rey are completely platonic and either one of them has to kill kylo in the end because let’s face it, he basically is hot young space Hitler. And don’t get me started on what they did with Rose and Jannah, fighting racism with racism, great idea!

    Great job on this video. Relevant to my interests, given I'm a fanfiction writer who goes out of my way to make sure my ledger is a thing of horror. I don't think it will really change any minds but such is the nature of argumentative video essays. Very well constructed and it'll probably be enlightening to people who aren't in the know about this kind of thing. But, I will (lightheartedly) take one issue: the statement that 'this only happens to m/f ships' is either very wrong or very fandom dependent, lmao. Centre-right dickheads LOVE weaponizing social justice language and constructing ethical failings against queer ships to try to dignify their het ones, at least in all the fandoms I've been in. But then my fandoms tend to be video game adjacent and I think those trend far more centre/cishet than book groups. Though, surely that must have been a thing in the She-Ra fandom given how much people love to talk about how Catradora is "incest-coded"? Still! Good video. Thanks for making it.
