The Emmy Lou Review 📚
The Emmy Lou Review 📚@EmmyLouReview·
People need to stop treating reading as fandom. If you like a book, take note so you can pick up the author’s next book if it appeals. But you need to stop getting ATTACHED to authors. This parasocial style of media interaction is crippling your ability to engage with fiction.

honestly i'm this close to quitting reading for good. every single author i actually love turns out to be problematic or worse. i'm so tired of finding out after i already got attached. feels like i can't enjoy anything anymore without a background check first

@ABook32218 i appreciate using the internet through curated algorithms and am glad youre using the block button as it should be used. that being said, i think its bad faith to claim these takes arent nuanced if you yourself havent seen examples of what im speaking of.

@weavingist I likely have curated a slightly ‘safer’ algorithm tbf, I don’t normally engage in conversations with the ones ‘beyond’

ill fall for the bait. the fundamental problem here isn't judaism's existence. it's rfk's formation of an audience based on criticisms of colonialism then including an unnecessary reference to Israel during a time of the Israeli genocide on Palestinian people.

I will not mince words: the current trajectory of this discussion surrounding RF Kuang crosses directly into Anti-Semitism. As a proud Jewish author who weaves cultural esotericism into my work, watching a literary space advocate for the boycott of an entire country and culture is chilling. While the conflict surrounding Israel and Palestine is infuriating and complex, deciding to collectively punish and boycott an entire people propagates the exact mentality that led to the Shoah. Erasure is not activism. Rather than defaulting to boycotts that target an entire religion and its culture, we must use this opportunity to have a fair, rigorous, and equitable discussion about how paradigms are shifting...without silencing each other in the process. Promote tolerance. #JewishFiction #JewishAuthors #WritingCommunity

@ABook32218 "not one person today" ...? are you out of touch entirely with the news or just on a completely liberal side of the internet?

@weavingist The former of which, this entire book —seemingly, because none of us have read it —is speaking up about. Not one person today has condoned the violence, no one agrees with it. Yet a large majority speak of banishing an entire nation.

@ABook32218 the "country" of israel for years. ben-gurion supported ethnostate over saving all jewish people during holocaust, weitz called for genocide in 1940, etc. the foundation of israel has always been colonialism and control.

@ABook32218 -in this day and age. comparing people who are BEING colonized is not the same as the COLONIZERS. people may not be able to move out of israel and i find that unfortunate in itself. but its clear that zionism runs rampant within the country and jewish people have critiqued-

it is not antisemitic to condemn colonialism and violations of basic human rights. it is not antisemitic to criticize authors for validating the existence of a colonial state in a fictional book where it was entirely optional to do so.

israel has a history of colonialism backed by Western powers to simultaneously use and be used to control west asia and expand their territory under the guise of religion. over and over theyve talked of retaliation (Res194, Iron Wall) while destroying even Palestinian Jews.

rf kuang is just a microcosm of the problem where authors see colonialism as an intellectual exercise rather than a real, material thing
