@renjun5ft4 Forbidden is not a thing that can be ascribed here. You are all going to continue doing what you want long after BAs have explained these things, whether they do so respectfully or not.
lol….all this about americans not knowing things and then you all say things that don’t even seem like they make sense to say out loud. Were slaves that were brought to other countries sent to schools that thought them standard english or am I missing something?
@yaesspa there is racism everywhere just not to the level where black people weren't even allowed to learn the same speak as white people to the point u developed a different dialect like that's crazy shit to most of us
@renjun5ft4 This discourse surrounding aave becoming almost a closed practice is directly a result of it being used for profit by everyone but its speakers. There are many non black people who grow up speaking aave because they and their family speak it and no one bats an eye
@renjun5ft4 I’m not a linguist or scholar of english dialects. I just think it’s funny (as a person that speaks a pidgin) that you essentially claimed the US is so uniquely racist it is the only place that it’s black population adapted a dialect of english. Did you confirm that first?
i barely read romance so i have a chihuahua in this fight it’s just funny that there seems to be no reason they can think of for people to want that rule to be able to choose books appropriately….
like my primary genre is litfic. but in the same way i watch the very specific action genre of a man from nowhere descendants and predecessors after watching a sad film, if i want to absolutely guarantee now im gonna read something happy to balance out that non fiction why not
I know it’s the internet and it’s hard but can we like…not make extremely sad news about ourselves. I vaguely get that this users whole thing is I’m cavalier about internet discussions and you plebs don’t get my jokes but it gets to a point
but i was told sex within the confines of a marriage or longterm relationship is safe, are you telling me the abuses of men don't actually give a shit about your internalized madonna/whore complex woah
This is the crux of the disconnect. That you think people who enjoy knowing that in this specific genre they can get a HEA should feels some implied condescension is so sad on all your parts. Inflated egos in the name of having a difference in taste
Like I understand wanting something cozy but like. Do you not feel condescended to when you’re told that it must have a HEA? Like tragedy doesn’t mean a beautiful romance didn’t happen
Not sure what it means that the two young-adult-NYC shows being advertised around the city right now have the exact same racial and gender breakdown in the main cast, down to the black guy being lightskin. I feel like there’s something going on there, though
