@macy_jess For clarification, who do you consider “marginalized” and why do you think so lowly of them?

[Devon Eriksen @Devon_Eriksen_]

Dear Jess-not-Jesse:

I usually try not to criticize other professional authors too loudly, unless they are successful enough that my disapprobation is unlikely to hurt their careers.

But, Jess-not-Jessie, you don't have an authorial career. There are no books penned by you for sale on the internet that either Grok or I can find.

Your self-description as a "writer of tough girls + magical boys in liminal spaces" appears to be aspirational or stylistic rather than reflective of published output.

What you are is a freelance editor, gone solo after a layoff from a brief career at Folio, a literary agency. All of the projects listed on your website are those you worked on as part of a team at Folio, rather than as an individual.

None have over 500 Amazon ratings. The exact counts are, at this moment: 455, 153, 90, 69, 36, and 12.

I am unable to find any projects you worked on a freelancer, but I can only observe that whatever those projects are, you did not choose to highlight them in your sales pitch.

My conclusion is that, while you certainly do have an insider's perspective on tradpub as an industry, you are in no position to pontificate on who is and is not "good at writing", since there is zero evidence that you are "good at writing", and zero evidence that that you have helped anyone else become "good at writing".

I would therefore recommend that you avoid using the phrase "unearned sense of superiority".

Myself, I do not pretend to be on the experience level of @Jringo1508 or a @monsterhunter45, but I do know how to sell a book or two, so I can comment from what I have personally witnessed.

Yes, the tradpub industry, as a whole and in general, is heavily biased against White authors, male authors, and especially White male authors.

Publishers generally do not perform racial and sexual discrimination openly and directly. Instead, they outsource this discrimination to literary agents, who are extremely blatant about it. It is not only occasional, but typical, to see submission guidelines with sentences such as "only accepting manuscripts from Queer or BIPOC authors at this time".

Just to be crystal clear, "Queer" means "anything but heterosexual" and "BIPOC" means "anything but White".

This is not a secret conspiracy... it's a public conspiracy, being conducted openly in the noonday sun.

But, like many of the best narratives, this story has a twist, and it goes like this (spoiler warning):

Tradpub is absolutely biased against White male authors. But that bias is effectively HELPING White male authors, not hurting us.

Why?

Because to any new genre fiction author in 2026, tradpub is a liability, not an asset.

As a whole and in general, the traditional publishing industry has been triply hollowed out — first by spreadsheet management who do not understand the industry they are in, then by Amazon eating their breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and finally by leftist ideology that not only doesn't understand the free market, but actively hates it.

This is why the only books they know how to sell are ghost-written celebrity projects, and endless volumes of monster rape porn for fat sexually frustrated feminists.

When communist trustafarians who inhabit modern tradpub use the phrase "good writing", the word "good" means something different to them than it does to anyone without an MFA and/or daddy issues.

When we say "good", we mean enjoyable by a relatively audience of people willing to pay for books.

When they say "good", they mean written from a brown or gay perspective that they think is socially and politically important.

To be crystal clear, they not only have no idea what will sell, they actually don't care.

Each rejection from this bear trap protects White male authors from having our careers handled by incompetents who take most of our earnings in exchange for nothing in particular, and pushes us closer to that shining glorious moment where we realize we do not need them.

That our destiny belongs to us, and we can keep our earnings, keep our IP, and keep our dignity, all for the price of a little extra work, most of which we were going to have to do anyway.

So, dear Jess-not-Jesse, while you are in fact a liar, a midwit, a complete mediocrity, and probably some variety of communist, none of this upsets me in the least. I would like you, and the entire industry you were made redundant from, to keep doing and saying exactly what you are currently doing and saying.

And I will keep telling, and showing, new and aspiring authors how they can succeed without you.

Again, these people can smell "systemic sexism" 1000 miles away, but ask them why the entire publishing industry is leftist women, their faces go blank

This is so funny. Because Erling Haaland is white, blonde and wealthy, socialists have to write special manifestos explaining why they are still allowed to like him

They need a special carve out

Zohran doesn’t even believe in prisons though, so how would that work?

lol.

[DoryGenderAtheist 🦕🦖 @NewFifeRight14]

So sick of this. The reason black women and babies have a worse outcome are-
More likely to be overweight
More likely to have diabetes
More likely to miss appointments
More likely to have experienced FGM
More likely not to be able to communicate in English
More likely not to be vaccinated
More likely to have HIV or other serious health conditions
More likely to be on benefits

They have BETTER OUTCOMES than in their country of origin.

In the meantime healthy white British mother and babies who attend all appointments, are more likely to die than French women.

You need to compare like with like or your study is pointless.

Every few weeks somebody rediscovers the Amish like they're a hidden DLC character in American politics.
"AHA! CHECKMATE, CONSERVATIVES! WHAT ABOUT THE AMISH?"

And everyone has to gather around for another exciting episode of People Deliberately Pretending Not to Understand.

The Amish don't assimilate into modern society. Correct. They also don't demand that you give up yours. Assimilation is not the issue by itself. It's shorthand for something much larger.

The Amish don't spend their weekends gluing themselves to highways demanding the rest of us abandon electricity. They don't firebomb data centers because somebody installed fiber internet. They don't organize marches insisting Ford recall every F-150 because horses are morally superior. They don't sabotage power plants. They don't campaign to outlaw smartphones. They don't scream that your pickup truck is violence. They don't insist Congress mandate horse-and-buggy quotas.

They do something that is about as American as you can get: "Y'all have fun with your civilization. We'll be over here churning butter."

They built their own communities, accepted the tradeoffs, and ask to be left alone. It's almost as though "living differently yourself" and "forcing everyone else to live differently" are two completely different concepts.

I know. It's a shocking development. Scientists are looking into it.

“Do you think that gays have lost any rights under the conservative administration that we have right now?”

“Absolutely!”

“What rights have they lost?”

I think you have to be really, really dumb or really, really dishonest to think religious proscriptions against touching the opposite sex are rooted in a respect for bodily autonomy.

If he's truly returning to offline obscurity, there could be nothing more countercultural in 2026. Man accumulates massive following during incredible summer trip, has no interest in being an influencer, shuts it all down.

I salute this guy. This is fabulous. He is Forrest Gump.

Katie Couric is an absolute moron. 14% of 400,000 is 56,000 violent offenders. Listen to how she wants to sweep under the rug 56,000 violent crimes like rape, sexual assault of kids, murder, vehicular manslaughter. On the other side of those 56,000 violent crimes is innocent people.

It’s startling that half of the young transplants here in nyc don’t seem to understand that rental properties are businesses and landlords have no obligation to take on a risky tenant, especially one refusing to get a job
