@mattparlmer There are still dedicated milfic publishers but they are very much niche, some mainstream publishers have left the genre entirely. So the pipeline for a wouldbe milfic author kind of sucks.

@mattparlmer Sure, say rather, publishing houses are less likely to carry Clancyesque milfic than romantasy because they perceived a changing demand signal. This would have mattered less when Naval Institute Press published Clancy, but matters a lot when his publisher is Penguin Random House.

@mattparlmer I state no opinion on whether this transformation has been good or bad. I merely state what I think has been the case. /Fin

@mattparlmer runs straight through the military chain of command. The policymakers of that background are the ones with stars on their shoulders, almost no one else but. This, too, I think, is a product of their transformation from citizen soldier to career specialist.

@birdmademejoin @constans If you peep in someone's window, you're not less a moral violator if you didn't do it in the bedroom window. /Fin

@birdmademejoin @constans Also because people have reasonable expectations of privacy as a good in itself, in places like homes, scalps, and communications accounts, except in cases which may justify violating it (legal warrants, employer surveillance, activity within someone else's space).
