it’s kind of deeply depressing that there exists this entire vast subculture of progressive-learning 15-19 year olds online who are legitimately filled with anxiety over their media consumption diet and closely monitor themselves and others to make sure nothing they consume is Problematic™ lest they be ousted from their social circles. at the exact age where it’s actually good to have a varied media diet and be able to critically engage with harmful elements, too

[dingdongyouarewrong]

straight up if you are high school or early university aged and you’re spending time feeling significant guilt and anxiety about what you choose to read or watch because of your online peers and shaping your media diet based on fear, you do not have to be around those peers anymore. there is a vast world outside this kind of person

yesterday one of my coworkers came in saying ‘did you know the president is giving James Patterson a medal’ and we all started yelling

[scribblebunnys]

[s-the-bard]

Why do we hate Patterson? I mean, I’m down to hate him but I wanna know why

[clonerightsagenda]

hedgepoetess

Can someone explain this to me please

Sure! I wasn’t expecting this to get traction so I didn’t go into detail.

‘Ghostwriter sweatshop’ isn’t a perfect term - I believe the term typically used is co-writers, although I’m not sure that’s fair either. What happens is that Patterson gives writers an outline and a plot, and they write the books. He’ll read and sometimes revise what they produce. Here’s one of several articles on it. Some people have used text analysis tools to confirm that his books tend to read far more like the co-writers than him - ‘author’ may not be the best word for his role. He’s more like the director. 

That being said, many librarians don’t resent him for that. We resent him because, if you work in a public library, he has probably taken over an entire library shelf by now, maybe two. Shelf space is valuable, but when it’s a bestseller you have to buy copies, even if there’s better stuff you could be purchasing. 

[bubonickitten]

I work in a library and literally we all dislike Patterson to varying degrees.

Just the other day I was shifting all the books (because we had just weeded) and I was desperately trying to fit the Pattersons on the shelves and there were no patrons in the library so I yelled “PATTERSON NEEDS TO STOP WRITING ALREADY” and my coworker—not missing a beat or even looking up from what she’s doing—just deadpans back, “He already did.”

So yeah librarians and library employees generally tend to hate Patterson.

[apolymathpainintheass]

The other issue for librarians (mlis librarian here with 5 years in public libraries) is that people come to us and ask “Can you give me the newest James Patterson book?” And they want one specific book but don’t really know the series name (in their defense, series names are hard and I mess them up a lot) and defo don’t know the plot. They saw it somewhere, maybe the newspaper? And the problem is. That bc of the ghostwriting and everything. He has usually published several books recently and it’s a guessing game to find the right one.

bubonickitten cracked me the fuck up with that response. *screams*
