Trouble finding reads

[Cody]

Has anybody been having trouble finding new reads that are not woke or feminazi or otherwise shoving a narrative or agenda down your throat when they could be telling a story?

It's like 9 out of 10 authors are sacrificing character development and good writing in order to make sure they check off all the right lgbtq boxes. I seriously just came here to read. Anybody else?

Maybe current fiction isn't really your thing.

Or reading.

I assure you it is, just I prefer to hear a story. Not a political piece. I'd buy one if that's what I wanted.

In fact, I read a recent piece of work titled, The Worm and His Kings. It was really good. I liked it alot. The author is trans and much of the story is about the experiences of the trans main character. However, the character and the story were well written. The entire book wasn't about how the main character is trans. It actually had something to say. Unlike the majority of things written to push the current agenda.

All that being said, do you now have a recommendation?

You see, bud, that wasn't necessary. Do you feel better?

[Fatman]

Feeling great, thanks!

You're awfully sensitive for a person who uses terms such as feminazi. Also being gay is not an agenda.

Great, me too, especially now that babies are safe again...

Appreciate you confirming my initial assumption.

Babies are safe? LOL History has taught you nothing.

As such, perhaps horror from the 70's thru early 2000's would be best to stick with. Lots of misogyny, bared breasts and the only gay characters, POC, transgenders, etc.. featured, get killed.

My sentiment, exactly...

[Kandice]

You should probably stick to books written before about 1980 or so. By your definition, I think they get progressively more "woke" after that.

Having answered your question, I don't think the "now that babies are safe" comment belongs here. Sadly, the carriers of said babies, no longer are.
