    yea a lil bit horny, yeah

    One of the reasons I recommend the book a lot to Libs in my life with potential

    Holy fucking based, kim-salute 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...

    Fran seems like the "Don't be this B or face consequences!" Character.

    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 madeline-smug 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 ✨

      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!

        waow-based 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 thonk

        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 boohoo 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 trot-shining

          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.

          The Last Girl Scout by Natalie Ironside actually has communists hunting fash vampires, but it has trot shit in it

          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 07

            yea I tolerate the trot nonsense because it's a killer t4t romp otherwise tbh
