ah ive unpacked another thing thats been bugging me about this book. theres the whole bisexual slut stereotype thing going on which. i will mostly roll my eyes at because yes its a stereotype and Not All Bisexuals, but there are real life people who ARE bi and want to sleep with everyone and they deserve to be represented too.
HOWEVER. this woman will sleep with anyone. man, woman, human, orc, fox, snake, she has even contemplated a rock. but where does she draw the line you ask? a woman with a beard. THATS a little too weird for her. ick.
#bookbird babbles#its how to become the dark lord etc etc#again it's Fine™️ and even fun at some parts but its little things like this that just! make me want to bite someone!#AND AGAIN! WHERE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY OF YOUR ACTIONS!!!!!!!!!!#WHERE IS YOUR CONSCIENCE#you can argue she doesnt have one after dying 1000 times but like! unpack that! address it!#its just skirted over!#and yeah sure series maybe itll be addressed down the series or whatever but this just doesnt sit right with me#'shes the villain' SHE WASNT ALWAYS#id be so much more invested if we had more of her trying to be a hero and THEN going hey actually fuck this#and even then.#okay shes a villain. but shes not acting like a villain in ways that matter????#like none of the worlds rules seem to apply to her#she makes a joke about the universe revolving around her bc she can die and just start again#AND DOESNT STOP TO UNPACK IT#and again the footnotes dont need to be footnotes
