>ALWAYS seeking: diversity. Race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, mentality, health, economic status, religious affiliation, all of it. The obvious shouldn’t need to be said — that I want my projects to reflect the beautiful diversity of the world, that I want to see and share with others life through another’s eyes, that I want to see these differences expressed through art and creation and culture, that these books need to be on bookshelves — but that’s the state of things. So yes, there is no question to it: I want diversity.
>This is your semi-annual reminder that while I'm looking for diversity and own voices across the board, I am particularly interested in seeing submissions in the mystery and historical romance genres. Please send! #mswl
>Seeking: manuscripts from POC, diverse authors,#LGBTQ,#OwnVoices, & all voices that have been silenced but NEED to be heard. I support you & want to share your stories with the world.
>I have never stopped looking for Black voices to add to my list of authors. If you write fun, escapist stories for MG or YA, I'm here! Currently hungry for rom-coms and light fantasy, but open to an adventure.
>Someone write me the epic queer MG I can comp to She-Ra, please
>We need more adaptations where draucla and van helsing were past lovers but now they're old petty exes
>#ownvoices#marginalizedvoicesfriendship-based adventure a la Goonies, please!#MG#YA#amquerying#amwriting
There are all real things written by real agents. Now what do you think the agents who wrote these do when they get a manuscript from a white, heterosexual author? Do you think they excitedly tear the envelope open and lean into the manuscript? Or do you think they move onto the next cover letter?

I don't know what that site is but I'm going to guess that this picture is not so wholesome...

nvm, I got three minutes in.

Coming to terms with the fact that I like a Japanese comic book about a man with a chainsaw for a face more than most literature.
Am I low IQ or just emotionally stunted?

>You have essentially lowered the chance that this evil will be done by others and lowered the status of the person doing evil.
Not always, in many cases it is possible that most people there are doing the same and you will just sound like a pedantic faggot to them thus they will end up mocking you behing your back or even setting the boss against you by making false complains about you.
Try living in the real world before giving advice sweetie

>I said "about life",
it doesn't matter, because the perception that they have of their "life experiences" is deformed by their distorted notions about reality.
>The subtleties of communicative nuance
One can notice and understand them consciously, normies just "feel it" subconsciously thus are incapable of even understanding what they are doing. In a similar way as a human understands better the behaviour of an animal than the animal itself even though he doesn't have a direct experience of it.
> emotions you will never feel
most "emotions" are narrative driven instinctual tendencies, that is to say that the emotion is nothing more than a story you tell yourself.

Well not really, the complex as exposed by Freud consisted in the fact that some men in his time couldn't get it hard and have sex with their own virgin wifes but had a massive boner for literal street whores.
Thus to confirm that we manifest this complex you would need to prove that /lit/izens would want to have sex with a virgin girl despite having her available for it and prefered to have sex with a woman who had multiple partners.

>Those are different stances.
Not really, because it is merely a tautology. If a philosopher has a negative opinion on women, calling him a misogynist i.e. someone who has a negative opinion of women doesn't prove that the opinion in question is incorrect.
Thus calling someone a "misogynist" is both meaningless and not an argument.

>self-loathing projected
Using insults to "prove someone wrong" is a very feminine way of doing. Saying that someone is projecting isn't a valid argument, you could instead use available data on the subject to prove him wrong but the data the we have doesn't seem to contradict his claims.

just use memes to convey meaning

Because they like having sex just like you do.
