О, это лучший комментарий к гомофобной книжонке Р. Моргана про ебанатов на выезде ("Стальные останки").
Чувак дело говорит. Гетеросексуальный автор мужского пола не в силах написать фэнтези, где бы женщины и геи жили как люди. Потому что это в его картину мира не вписывается, даже если это фэнтези, где всё возможно. Вспомните полыхание жопок русской аудитории над женскими персонажами вроде Дэйэнерис или Монцы Муркатто. Огромная летающая огнедышащий ящерица - это возможно, а сильная женщина - НЕТ, ЧТО ВЫ?!
The Steel Remains (A Land Fit for Heroes, #1) by Richard K. Morgan
Vic's review
"I think this book suffers from a lot of the kinds of things you see in fantasy written by straight men. Imagine: you're a straight male author, you're writing high fantasy, you create a whole new world, but do you make a world where women and gay men aren't hated and despised? Nope! You add in a heaping ton of misogyny and homophobia because you're a straight guy and that gets you off.
Really, this book had plenty of problems; it was confusing and hard to follow, the plot was boring and again, fucking weird, and the main characters were all so similarly bland they were basically the same person, but what stood out more than anything was the horrific amount of misogyny and homophobia, in particular the homophobia. Two of the three main characters in this series are gay, but they're naturally treated like garbage compared to the straight guy, especially Ringil. Gil's a boring asshole, yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm happy seeing him treated like shit. The love of his life was brutally executed in front of him when he was a teenager; despite being a hero, everyone and their mother hate him; and he was constantly being called slurs. Sometimes it felt like Gil got called a f*ggot or a qu*er five times per page. Everyone in the book called him slurs, including his (straight) best friend, Egar. If any of my straight friends called me a f*g every time they talked to me, I wouldn't tolerate it like Gil does, I'd take a bat to their face. I was uncomfortable with this when I thought the author was a gay guy, and I was angry and disgusted when I found out Morgan was straight, and worse, that he's praised for writing this garbage. Reading this, I didn't feel like Morgan was a straight ally putting gay representation in his novels, it felt more like he was a homophobe who wrote a gay protagonist just so he could humiliate and brutalize him.
The thing about writing high fantasy and creating new worlds is that it allows you to make a world where gay people and women can be loved and lead fulfilling lives, but of course, you never see that in books written by straight men, because straight men can't imagine a world where women and gay people are happy."
Кстати, а я правильно по умолчанию считаю, что все люди читают по-английски?
