I'll put my woke observations first so you waste less of your time.

Also, the first appearance of a female character is also is the first instance of a violent threat against a female character. In a book with very little violence up to this point.

I don't know about undertones but it's pretty gay.

Cool. Another /lit/ post in the format of "Indefensible Man-Child Idea That Seems Deep To The Poster" followed by "Any books about this?"

Asking if there are books about your fuckstick idea doesn't make it a lit post.

>Look how many black women are mayors of US cities, how many black girls are working at wal-mart and McDonald’s. There is a problem with black masculinity that is not addressed in their communities and families and is given permission and excuses by liberals in America. Nothing is their fault. It’s the only social issue that people seem to know exactly what the cause and effect is.


Look how many black women are mayors of US cities, how many black girls are working at wal-mart and McDonald’s. There is a problem with the structure of society that is not addressed in those communities and families that benefit and is given permission and excuses by everyone in America. Nothing is their fault. It’s the only social issue that people seem to ignore because a white supremacist society benefits them.

All writers are secretly gay. Don't fight it.

>Herbert creates a savior character.
>Savior is the chosen one from a centuries old all female organization
>Leads an army of leatherboys with just his sultry voice

Why so feminist?

>Savior gets a young girl sidekick

OP: Where are my leatherboys drinking their own piss?

I agree. Women do not belong here. It's just us dudes. Say, do you mind if I slip out of these jeans... it's kind of hot in here? Thanks. Wow. I feel so comfortable around you. It's cool just to hang out with guys. No pressure. Nothing weird. I'm just going to let this air out a little. Mmmm. You can do the same if you want. Do you ever taste your own cum, anon? Like maybe just when it starts to leak out at first when you get hard. Women will steal that.. glad it's just us guys here.

Midnight’s merely blue,
but me, me, me, I’m
through
and through
sloe, cracked soot-
on-a-boot,
nicotine spat, licorice whip.
You can scratch, scratch, scratch
but I stay underskin true
to ebony, ink, crowberry, pitch;
hoist me up by my hooves
and shake till I’m shook, I’m still
chock full of coke, fuliginous
murk.
O there’s swart in my soul,
coal by the bag,
cinders and slag,
scoriac grit, so please
come, comb
through my fleece with hands pallid
as snow and watch
how they grow tarry, raven,
stygian, ashed—
or, if you wish, clean me with bleach
I won’t
flinch, just char
down to a core of caliginous
marrow,
pure carbon, atramentous,
utterly piceous,
shadowed, and starless,
each clumpity clump
and eclipse of my heart raptly
re-burnishing
a woolgather dark.

I'm crying right now. OP's words cut right into my soul.

"
Her senses returned to her in a slow dawn, and in the morning haze of
her consciousness, shadows of thoughts, dreams and memories drifted about,
all equally ephemeral, equally probable or improbable."

>Maybe writing is specifically a "sad guy" thing.
Maybe publishers prefer sad, white dudes and give them more attention. If your meritocracy looks like a klan rally before the hoods are on, you either believe in genetic superiority (Stormfront is that way) or it's evidence for institutional patriarchy.
