I legitimately do not understand the "I want to fuck effeminate looking boys" with the gays. Hairy burly guys? Alright, I get how that's different from women, but with effeminate twinks you might as well just fuck a tomboy in the ass.

I always imagined your textbook average person would be perfectly happy in BNW. Freedom is overrated if all your other needs and wants are satisfied.

>Bookiness. That’s the word Glenn Fleishman, a technology writer and longtime bookmaker, uses to describe the situation. “It’s the essence that makes someone feel like they’re using a book,” he told me.

How? Do they just spend every waking moment reading? I mean, it seems be contemporary garbage written for the 8th grade reading level, but still.

You have something else to share with the class, anon? Something about class inequality and black power? Just asking.

I'm more interested in concepts and explanations rather than characters, though. Probably explains why I can't stand modern fantasy in particular.

Once the next ASoI&F novel finally comes out, following GRRM's death when his assistants and editor compose it from leftover notes, /sffg/ will go into full meltdown mode.

>blaming the man for genre trends that took off well after he had already died

Is cursive not taught anymore or something? People make such a big deal about it yet cursive was just something normal you learned.

Is there healthy rivalry between /wg/ and /ffa/? Nature of their work makes it infinitely easier to produce something tangible.

Goddamn these threads went to the dogs over the last month or two.
