How to get an agent and a book deal in 2026:
1. be a woman
2. be brown
3. be a lesbian
4. take a classic American novel and make it gay, no need to come up with your own story or anything

The great gatsby is already a retelling of Heart of Darkness but gay

Sounds like straight white men should have tried harder to get into publishing and commercial law. Skill issue.
>>
>>25486718
That's your takeaway from this? My takeaway is that the average acquisitions editor at the major publishing houses deserves to have their fingers cut off and fed to them, for being so fucking terrible.

>>25486585
I went on a date with a girl once. She was a big reader...of romantasy slop...she was writing a romantasy retelling of a gender-swapped Jekyll and Hyde...

The line's going up. That's all that matters.

>>25486590
Just say you transitioned. What are they gonna do, demand proof?
>>
>>25486585
These freaks have completely dominated the book publishing industry. It's a disaster.

>replace all women
Are you implying you want society to be a bunch of single dads raising their children?
>>
>>25486585
Cue the disingenuous demons that pretend white men are not actively shut out of trad publishing on a systemic level, then watch as they admit they are but that it's only because white men are not le good at writing even though the writing that is being accepted into trad publishing is some of the absolute worst shit you will ever read.
>>
>>25489637
yes. you think they believe in their own rules? the rules are contrived excuses and they do whatever they want, which is girl shit, because they're girls
>>
>>25486585
I fucking hate how they try to gaslight us into thinking this is how things naturally are panning out.
>The millions of agents specifically asking for queer and BIPOC representation are totally not biased bro!! Just make a good story!
Yeah and I’m fucking Genghis Khan. Such a gay world we live in.
>>
>>25487253
You ask these women if they think that what they’re doing is different or anti-establishment and they’ll look you point blank in the eyes and say “Yes.” with all the confidence in the world. Women are doomed
>>
>>25489918
the media and state apparatus is already raising them anyway

We are being genocided. Softly and slowly, but it is happening.

You will sit through business meetings where professionals discuss how to ensure there are fewer people like you in their workplace. That's what they're saying aloud. The quiet part that they don't yet say is that they want fewer of us in society altogether. No books, films, shows, articles, or anything else by a straight white man.

The status of white men now implies a kind of uncleanable moral impurity, not unlike original sin, determined by our ancestral participation in colonization, slavery, capitalism, and imperialism. Never mind that many whites resisted these things or that their moral status is far from clear. You have original sin and you cannot ever cleanse yourself. You can only carry out displays of self-negation, like voluntarily giving up a job, or participating in your own replacement, for which you will be rewarded with minor appointments and other trifles.

>>25486585
So I just have to say I'm a troon and agents will publish my yurislop?
>>
>>25489995
States are doing jack shit to help raise children.

>Are you implying you want society to be a bunch of single dads raising their children?
the children of single fathers are better off in literally every measurable, sociological criteria than the children of single mothers.

Well?!
>>
>>25492079
what do you think schools are for. state literally raised you for the first 20 years of your life.
>>
>>25493912
>>25494661
No, 5 would be have decent/large social media following because publishers think you have a baked-in audience
>>
>>25487108
Too bad we already have that.
>>
>>25486593
Moderns.

>>25494694
States are barely paying teachers enough, to the point, every year, they go on Instagram and Facebook begging parents to donate supplies. They're also not funding schools enough for them to keep up infrastructure.
>>
>>25496184
ai can teach better than teachers. schools are daycare centers
>>
>>25496200
You’re barely literate.

uh o teachoid melty

>>25487517
Go read it and let us know.
>>
>>25489637
yes. 100% yes. do you not remember what happened to isabel fall or did you never learn? she wasn't even lying about being a trans woman and she still got cancelled for daring to write something actually subversive.
>>
Its not even in the service of a rich diversity of literature. It's a particular niche of hacky rich MFA bisexual women (who conveniently only date men). White women who want to write pages upon pages about their sexual ickies or depression, or Asian women writing about the white boyfriend who cums diaspora.
I've yet to see a gay author write about the loneliness of modern gay hypersexuality or a black guy using genuine street language outside of a memoir.

I love innovation like this
>>
>>25496404
yeah, they do. so what? do you expect the same rules to apply to you? have you not noticed that every white trans woman writer who has mainstream recognition either was already well-known pre-transition or is boring as shit?
>>
>>25496200
No, it can't, retard.
>>
>>25496200
From the dissociated, passionless and uninterested teachers I saw growing up. Yeah, at this point AI is probably better and would be far more attuned to a student's unique learning styles and approaches on an individual level.
Versus some career teacher trying to make it to retirement asap with a pension. And just throwing students on a conveyor belt to try and fast track them into the college debt trap.
