𓀐 @ppQ7=bfF: Why do right-wing grifters like pensandpoison and that Joon girl complain endlessly about “Marxism” and “wokeness” allegedly killing the artistry of modern literature when right-wing conservatives were pumping out all sorts of slop novels in the 90s and 2000s? Picrel, for instance, was about a state governor covering up his daughter’s death from a botched abortion because he needed support from abortion rights orgs to win his re-election and is later exposed by a Christian news anchor with prophetic powers; this crap is no different from a Sally Rooney novel or “Yesteryear” just neocon/Evangelical in orientation with the same dogshit writing style. Tons of hypocrisy and ignorance on the part of the “anti-work” literary critic crowd.

The problem I have with people like PaP and her ilk is that she seems hellbent on the idea that only conservatives can create literature that reveals a moral message or grand commentary on human existence. Anyone can look at conservatives today and see that's not the case at all. As it is, 99% of the right-wing MO consists of bullying the left (communists, queer people, feminists, anti-racist activists, etc.). Just look at podcasters or right-wing YouTubers to see clear examples of this notion. What "profound moral message" is this supposed to be? A novel written by a conservative where the message is "queer people are crazy, only cishets are mentally balanced, only a society that promotes heteronormativity can ever be stable" is not something that would ever make for meaningful art.
