What is the issue with a writer being straightforward with what they have to say? This isn't me saying every piece of fiction needs to make it blatantly obvious what the themes or morals are but I see this criticism a lot.

    that's why they're addicted to terms like "institutional racism" and "disenfranchisement" and other long words that don't have any emotional impact, and also serve to shift the blame away from enemies, and onto nebulous, non-person entities like "institutions" (inb4 someone tries to tell me that the 'institution' killed Ahmaud Arbery lol)

    same exact thing as "the gun discharged" and "these states allow cops to have sex with people in their custody"

    it's just a passive form of civility
