I made a cishet dude read it at gunpoint once and he said there was "too much sex", lmao
Lol. I will admit there was more detail than what I usually read and the parts and pronouns not matching to what I was used to did throw me off at first but I adapted pretty quick. It was definitely horny though.
The themes around building community and uh killing terfs, I liked a lot.
Same. Even if I felt it was tempered, the overall politics was better than most slop I read, by far. I felt it definitely did Trans representation without making them capitalist mascots. One of the reasons I recommend the book a lot to Libs in my life with potential is that I feel normalizing leftist representation is a key component to radicalization.
"Left hanging" as in, I mean it makes sense that it doesn't really get resolved insofar as like, uh, Fran is def using Beth in the worst way for gender affirmation. I guess the resolution is her character arc, lol. It can feel like the book is just tormenting Fran sometimes honestly.
Word, yeah, I just took that as part of the toxicity of their relationship. But agreed, Fran seems like the "Don't be this B or face consequences!" Character.
Oh good, it's awful!! Hit me up whenever you read it. AW SHIT PARANORMAL ROMANCE SLOP, I fear somewhat if Manhunt resembles your slop, I'm big into horror fiction too, all queer ofc
Lol, will do. Paranormal Romance-wise I tend to stick to a handful of authors I picked up when I would download books for my sister; Kim Harrison, Patricia Briggs, Laurel K Hamilton (wanna talk about too much sex? Her plot suffered and stalled for like 5 books because she became obsessed with her MC's sex life.🤦), Mercedes Lackey back in the day, some other stuff. Lots of vampires and werewolves, some faires; so plenty of violence tho not sure if it really qualifies as horror 🤔, varying degrees of sexual details, depending on the author. I'm always down to explore so if you wanna throw something my way feel free. Suggestions always appreciated... When I can find the time to get around to them.😅

Holy fucking based, really admire you throwing this one at people lmao. And yeah, I guess it is a key component of radicalisation, never thought about it like that. Hmmm...

I felt bad for her by like a third of the way through, I mean that weird terf chaser from Maryland, some pretty harsh consequences for assimilationism. Also regarding that terf chaser, what a useless character! c:
Kim Harrison, Patricia Briggs, Laurel K Hamilton,
inhales Awwww yeah, urban fantasy paranormal romance slop Incredible stuff. I don't have a load of experience with this genre explicitly, although funny enough the fruity little interactive fiction game I'm playing pretty much fits this bill ✨
And yeah, I guess it is a key component of radicalisation, never thought about it like that. Hmmm...
Gotta fight the Cultural Hegemony with more culture.💁 Problem is my reputation as being radical taints my recommendations. I keep meaning to start up like a DNC bookclub or something on insta that sprinkles in agitprop every couple books. "Why does Hillary Clinton love The Grapes of Wrath so much? Let's find out!"
Also regarding that terf chaser, what a useless character! c:
If the book wasn't so explicitly pro-trans I'd say they were a character written to lead Terfs to the light, but yeah, I can't imagine a terf reading that far. Idk, she's necessary for Fran's survival at least.
Awwww yeah, urban fantasy paranormal romance slop
Unfortunately, so much of it so very Lib. I need sexy communist werewolves hunting capitalist vampires!
Building counter-cultural-hedgemony as one of the bricks in the Communism Foundation... That's a fuckin awesome idea lol, gee really makes ya think
The whole book is basically purpose-positioned to make terfs mad, which is extremely funny and rad. I wonder almost if that was the intent, hmmmm...
Noooooo my slop is liberal I want communist werewolves hunting capitalist vampires!!! The Last Girl Scout by Natalie Ironside actually has communists hunting fash vampires, but it has trot shit in it

Before I got kicked off Facebook many years ago I was running a very large number and variety of meme pages that regularly slipped pro communist jokes in the mix. Very rarely did I ever get any pushback. There's way more potential in boiling the frog rather than a frontal assault, imo.

I mean, I'm still adding it to my list! Thanks!
Agitprop on facebook, waow I'm sincerely impressed. I don't have the guts to tolerate too much lib trash. Uncritical support
Lol thanks that was like 10 years ago tho. I can't decide if it's busy enough to try again or not.
Word. Sounds cool enough to try!
