Book Club on Yik Yak | Hey if you agree with a post with a word that’s used as a slur, then you’re actually the bad guy. Sorry besties. Bring elitist gatekeepers on what other people choose to read is super not it when the average adult reads less than a book a year.

Romance is a nuanced and beautiful genre that touches on the most misunderstood aspect of humanity, love. The “spicy” smut books are dogshit slop intended for BookTok troglodytes. There’s a difference. Be pretentious, romance is losing its meaning.

OP is also attacking people to the point that they are temp banned for calling way worse names. Again. If you agree with this, block me. I don’t want to see your petty bullying on what is supposed to be a positive reading space.

You’re also agreeing with someone who is directly attacking someone else just for asking about a book. You don’t have to like every book. But being a literal fucking bully is super gross. If OP’s post resonated with you, you are the reason that this group is toxic. Be better.

It’s possible to agree with a point being made without agreeing with the usage of a slur

People frequently use troglodyte interchangeably with the r slur. Just because it isn’t directly that word doesn’t mean it’s not being used that way. And OP was using more direct slurs in the comments that have been removed.

You’re agreeing with someone who is temp banned because their point immediately devolved into name calling. Their point is also wildly incorrect and is calling all people who read smutty books stupid. When all reading is valid and no genre is a monolith of quality. Maybe check yourself.

lol never said I agreed with them. I obviously think how they went about it is wrong, but that doesn’t make their opinion immediately wrong

Yeah actually, you are lowering yourself to their level when you use a literal slur. That is something that MAGA does. And I hate Trump as much as anyone out there.

I also don’t believe someone is truly left leaning if they are still fine with using ableist, racist, etc language. You are just conservative lite playing into the political sides game where neither party is truly for the people.

Sorry, got it mixed up with troglobites, which is a scientific term for cave dwellers like these guys
