REBLOG FOR REACH

That option #7 has a typo, it will be "I only READ etc..."

How fast smut has inflitrated books, mostly bestsellers aimed at young girls and young adults is very concerning. Back in the day it was mostly just to be found in fanfics and doujinshis and stuff like that and frowned upon by the public.

Now the consens has shifted to being completely fine with hardcore stuff put in fantasy books and the like with no warning whatsoever on the covers. This is absolutely irresponsible from the publishers.

I don't wanna name names, but it's definitely the fault of booktok and how smut has infiltrated any form of mainstream media.

Booktok was a mistake.

“Young adult as a genre has adults in it so it should have content for adults as well!”

But!

It also has Children!

And they don’t need to read the adult stuff you’re putting into it!

#anti booktok #the argument being that teenagers will be growing up and learning about themselves #including their sexuality and whatnot #is a shitty argument tbh #because yeah that’ll happen #but they should be able to learn about sex and all things involved in a safe environment #not by reading one of a hundred books about a seven foot tall monster mafia vampire man with a horse dick #keep your shitty smut out of books and genres where minors are involved #stop forcing it into these places #and go read something other than porn #watchingtheearthrise

Like I like some ETL ships and have definitely written a few but there are some pairings where I just…never understood why.

Like why on earth would this barely out of her teens girl be so infatuated already with an adult man at least ten years older than her and who’s actively harmed/killed people she cares for and/or colonized her homeland?

Like???

You all okay over there??

If you complain about anything Astarion gets in the patches (*squints heavily at people upset about AA kiss*) but use mods to replace Wyll with Astarion in Wyll’s romance scenes just know that I Don’t Like You :)

#BG3 #like who you like #romance who you want to romance #but if you’re out here whining about all the content you’ve got not fitting your headcanons #and actively erasing the sole poc character from his very few romance scenes #I’m squinting

I truly believe I could track the downfall of new release books down to Adam driver being cast as Kylo ren like he truly is the cause of this in my eyes

#you’re not wrong #anti booktok

[watchingtheearthrise]

Watching someone try to desperately argue that the Rey Skywalker movie is going to ‘bomb’ unless they hire/make Adam Driver a lead over on Twitter makes me laugh. A witchy cackle, if you will.

Like, sure, because all of Adam Driver’s latest films have been box office record setters /s

#star wars #like sorry not sorry but his character is dead #and if I was Adam I wouldn’t come back #honestly the fact that he doesn’t have social media has probably saved a lot of you #I’d be horrified to know what some of these ‘fans’ have said and done in my name and about me #I’m looking specifically at everyone who ships Adam and Daisy #weirdos #like imagine learning that the only reason you’re wanted back #is just to have sex with your costar #because that’s literally all they want! #of course they say they want a ‘story’ #but that story always ends with Kylo and Rey hooking up #with possible kids #so you tell me it isn’t about the smut #try it

you know what I'm going to complain. fuck tiktok. like seriously what happened to shows having 20-22 episodes?? their extremely short attention span has caused so many shows to reduce the number of episodes. don't even get me started on booktok. fuck you tiktok

I have been off tumblr for a while but popping back in for a second because I have angry Toughts about Books, especially booktok.

I am so tired. When I was a child and a teenager i used to read everyday multiple times a day, i found joy and escapism in literature. Now teens have... this? Really? It makes me fucking sad. I am sure there are also many new good books out there for teens and young adults, but chance is that the people they are aimed to haven't even seen them or don't know they exist. You go into a library or a bookstore and the first thing you see is a booktok shelf. You may not even go into a library anymore because what is glamorized today is how many books you buy each month or each week. This are the books that are marketed, that are talked about. If I wanted to read some YA that is different i have to just reread old books which sure, it can be great but why can I not have any other option?

My sister has recently entered the -teens years. She doesn't read much but honestly? I cannot even fault her. If she was interested to the romance genre what should I tell her to read? This shit? Teach her abuse from an extremely young age because she is guilty of wanting to read? Honestly I feel like there aren't even books for teenagers that are actually for them. All of this YA genre is not for young adults it's for adults. Full stop.

(This also warrants a digression on how wide the ya age ange is. Google says 12 to 30, like excuse me? But my point still stands).

That's it. I hate the new book trends. I hate how to market something you have to boil it to insipid tropes, to a 20 seconds video where you slap a bunch of Pinterest images and some buzzwords. Where all the books are badly done version of themselves. As an author it makes me cry. They have so much potential and it is all wasted like this.

And that is also to say that if you do not agree with any of this, think booktok books are cool, you like authors such as SJM or Colleen Hoovers... get off my blog. Unsubscribe. This is not a space i want people like that in, thank you.

#anti booktok #stop recommending smut to children #“but but but the children will find porn anyway! #that’s a BAD THING JAN #Maybe we should focus on THAT #instead of trying to slip a teenager some dark romance shit about rape and violence towards women

So my current Baldur’s Gate 3 playthrough is going well 🥲
