#siighhh#Martha wells you can do better than this💔#murderbot
Welp. Sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but she actively refuses to do better.
She would rather defend the original British colonizers than simply apologize for using antblack caricatures in the fantasy book series she was writing before publishing All Systems Red, which she started writing in 2011, was getting criticism for the literal antiblack caricatures, including slavery apologism, racial phrenology, and more, and decided to publically double down on this in 2023 by sharing *only* reviews that sung praise for her racist writing, and said that thinking the antiblack carictures Martha Wells write were racist, is if you *also* thought the original British colonziers were evil, and ~we all know that's ridiculous~.
She would literally rather defend British colonization than just own up to the fact that she wrote antiblack caricatures in 2011, and apologize for it,
that's also the book series where she explicitly endorses eugenics, pedophilia, and the ending moral is that women *do* belong in the home making babies and not going outside, because that would make their husband worry about them being "tainted" by the Scary Inherently Evil Black people.
And if you haven't read PlatformDecay yet, she's doubling down on the ableism and slavery apologism in the series even more.
Did you know that she's been telling people since 2018 that Murderbot is a Black person?
Only to endlessly cheer from the rooftops as a cis white man was cast to play it in the TV show?
Did you know despite these books being advertised as aroace representation, and writing Murderbot to be repulsed by the idea of being in a romantic relationship, she's giving interviews admitting she's queerbaiting that, because Murderbot's relationship with ART is inherently romantic, because it's ~the most important relationship in Murderbot's life~ and is *actively* telling people that this series is a Romance, so they should buy it?
Like. Sorry to be the one to have to tell you this, but I would rather have found out about it sooner than later, when I had to find that interview of her doubling down on her literal pro-eugenics antiblackness by defending British colonization.
There's a reason my posts about her are tagged white supremacy and slavery apologism. She's ennamoured with eugenics and pedophilia.
And last but not least, did you know she's happy to tell people *including in 2026* that her original plan for All Systems Red was for Murderbot, the slave, to successfully commit suicide to protect its slave owners, to prove that it was One Of The Good Ones?
I highly recommend watching this video, and then thinking back over Te Murderbot Diaries / Murderbot TV, and seeing how much lines up.
the bandaid of false hope and giving her the benefit of the doubt has to get ripped off at some point. I've spent years waiting for her to get better at this and giving her the benefit of the doubt, and she legitimately does not deserve it.
She's a conservative. She's anti abortion, she's pro eugenics, pedophilia, and slavery, and hates trans people. Every "nonbinary" character in this series is just a bio-essentialist stereotype, and the only good slaves are the ones who are willing to throw their lives away to protect their slave owners.
Murderbot literally started book 1 worshipping its slave owners and murdering other slaves, and here we are 9 years and 13 stories later and it's still doing that. And Martha Wells keeps adding more and more explicit bigotry into the series with every new book that comes out.
