Yt women can write books where women have their autonomy violated and get decent reviews. When a Brown woman writes a book where Brown women defend their autonomy, she is demonized. Brown women are now suffering violent misogyny. Stop dehumanizing us.
I, a brown woman, get accused of "internalized racism" and wanting "yt dick" all bc I wrote a book set in Pakistan where a woman comes back to life and kills the men who dig up her body and try to rape her. But Keeping Her Under is praised for romance?

Personally I’ve found POCs portrayal of SA to be more raw and heart breaking, which absolutely crushed me but made the book better. Personally always feel like it’s glamorized sometimes tenfold more in media!
