Found this today. Browse any profile and it's loaded with this crap. At least 90-95% of agents are female. There is overwhelmingly, absolutely overwhelmingly, requested a certain brand of manuscript, and I strongly feel agents and the literary establishment are becoming more and more divorced from reality as they seclude themselves in their political echo chamber of increasingly edgier and edgier neoliberalism. Marx himself would take a step back over this.

What do normalfags like to read? Game of thrones type stuff. What do agents push for? Endless whining crap about POC queers, trannies, stronk wimminz, feminism, critical theory, and other insanity. (And of course the third faction--quality literature--has no representation at all.) Pop politics has completely taken over the publishing establishment like a metasticized cancer. And no, for the love of god I'm not /pol/. I don't want to read about ANY politics in my literature, left or right, you're all kooks and I don't give a damn about any of this circus act, this debate of clowns. I'm really, really tired of having this crap pushed down my throat.

When I talk about blue haired agents, I'm talking about this. But don't take my word for it.

This is why books worth reading aren't being published.
