Matt Shaw - 10th inning walk-off sac fly
July 3, 2025
MATT SHAW WAS ATTENDING FUCKING CHARLIE KIRK'S FUNERAL AND THAT'S WHY HE WASN'T ON THE FIELD TODAY
WHAT THE FUCKING HELL SHAW
I was on the fence about making this poll, but I realized i wanted to hear what people who don’t keep up with drama in the book community (or those aren't even in it) have to say about it.
I do want to say that this is not a complete list of book drama because it’d be way longer, so I didn’t include things like Soapgate, the A Deadly Education fiasco or the multiple controversies Cassandra Clare/Colleen Hoover were in.
also, I found out there’s a bit of character/option limit when it comes to poll choices, so I had narrow it down.
which one of these bookternet scandals was the most “wtf” thing to ever happen?
A dude calling female BookTubers “fake “readers ”*
Handbook for Mortals taking the 1 spot on NYT bestsellers list bc of scam
That romance writer who faked her death
A black woman's book gets accused of plagiarism because the MC had sun powers
that time B&N decided to slap POC onto covers of classics to be more diverse
Matt Shaw harassing a girl for not liking one of his books
White author reviewbombs books by POC because she had a breakdown apparently**
Vulture article accusing bookstagrammers of faking their photos
A Canadian journalist doing blackface to write a book about race
J.D Barker asking Booktokers to make lewd videos to promote his new book
Booktokker's thirst over a hockey player causing a feud between her and his wife
the author who faked being Latinx while catfishing under 10 fake names
*by that, he meant if you are a woman in your 20s who wears makeup, does book tags/hauls, make high quality videos, and/or rave about YA, you’re not a “real reader™️”
**in a later interview she then tried to rectify this by saying it was actually her upbringing and mental illnesses that caused her to reviewbomb other debuts Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the Reylos got involved in this.
Midnight Pals: Not Mad
Matt Shaw: Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society, I call this the tale of the saucy gallimaufry Shaw: or as you americans might call it Shaw: the wet vagina Shaw: you think that sounds good huh? Shaw: well just wait til you see the dedication
Shaw: i'd like to dedicate this book to the youtube critic who gave me a one star review Shaw: by the way i am not mad Shaw: don't put it in the newspaper that i'm mad
Shaw: so apparently this youtube critic says i'm not supposed to write stories from a womans perspective Shaw: oh you think you can stop me, all powerful youtube critic? Shaw: I DO WHAT I WANT!
Shaw: I'm so not mad at that trout Shaw: which is apparently an insult we use here in Britain Poe: oh no he's posting through it Barker: posting through it? Barker: he's writing a whole book through it Shaw: AND ANOTHER THING Shaw: i'm not even mad Shaw: in fact i'm laughing
Shaw: so the all-powerful youtube critic is trying to silence me but as a fearless truth teller i cannot be silenced Shaw: i cannot ever be silenced Shaw: even when it might be in my best interest to shut up Shaw: i refuse to yield! Shaw: here i stand, i can do no other!
Shaw: so anyway i wrote a book that that youtube critic is definitely not gonna read Barker: oh look she posted a comment about how she's not gonna read it Shaw: Poe: clive don't tell him that Barker: why not? he said it himself Poe: you know what you're doing clive
Shaw: she says she's not going to read the book?! Shaw: that's fine Shaw: that's totally fine Shaw: I am not mad Shaw: guess she's too scared to come on my podcast Barker: oh you have a podcast? that's unexpected Poe: clive
Shaw: women say men shouldn't write sex scenes Shaw: but actually i'm pretty good at it Shaw: how do i know? Shaw: women send me pictures of themselves masturbating to my sex scenes Shaw: like all the time
Shaw: here's a photo of me posing with some of the pictures that women send me of themselves masturbating Shaw: the pictures of women masturbating are right outside of frame
