Reply to comment by deeeeeeeeeevo in Do you ever look up the authors you're reading to get to know them better? by justkeepbreathing94

Lol. People are racist all the time now, what the fuck are you talking about. And also, saying someone is “a product of their time” IS bullshit. Mark Twain was an ardent abolitionist, and he was alive during the civil war. Ffs.

I didn’t say people aren’t racist? I said there’s no place for people to be racist nowadays. Always two sided to a coin dude, whether you like it or not

I would love an example of an author you think isn’t in their work.

James SA Corey (Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck) wrote the expanse series and that deals with lots of racism and marginalization. Scott lynch from the gentlemen bastard series, lots!

Talking about or having something in your writing doesn’t mean you believe in that thing. But how the author treats it, does. What happens to the racists in the Expanse? How are they portrayed?

You’re literally making my point.

Scott Lynch literally writes about stealing from the rich. Like. Come on.

I know what you said and I’m telling you you’re wrong. What do you think all this anti-“woke” stuff is? JFC.
