The booktok community dissapoints me so much.
For three years people have sworn off sarah j maasâ books, saying that since she is a z!onist, and that she supports genoc!de ( she literally spoke in an interview about how proud she was of the apartheid state and how her grandma financed the IDF who are litteraly offing children). And yet the moment she announced the release of her new book, everybody and their grandma forgot about these details and were cheering her up đ.
And before anybody comes at me, IT IS THAT SERIOUS.
She wrote books about revolutions and the disasters of w0rs and s!avery and ethnic clensing and ironically she supports this in real life.
âOh but she didnât speak about thisâ EXACTLY, she can see what is being said about her, if it was a lie, she couldâve come out and said : guys this is a lie, i would never support these crimesâ but she stayed silent. An author, whose characters fought the same crimes she is supporting, stayed silent.
As for the booktok community, i canât describe how disappointed i am in you ( not all of you ofcrs). But when you read the hunger games you sided with the revolution. When you read Divergent you sided with the revolution. When you read shatter me you, once again, sided with the revolution. Now that the revolution has come, i donât see you speaking up. people all around the world are being offed, in the worst ways possible, and none of you speak about it. Books are political. But i guess the women Azriel will bed is much more important than these lives.
Remember. Books are always and have always and will always be political.
Every single life matter, you cry when your fictional character d!es, but you turn a blind eye the suffering of millions of real people.
