Stop reading Young Adult novels.

she's not clumsy or a vampire.

can't remember if there are two white guys but gonna assume there are

>>13202918
Why was it pointed out that the male characters are white, as if that is a negative? Why is everything about identity politics?

>>13202957
Shut the fuck up nazi

>>13202921
Labyrint

>>13202957
You're thinking about it wrong. It's just to emphasize how good she has it.

>>13202957
it's to emphasise how generic and bland these stories are, both guys are pretty similar just reskinned basically

How the fuck do books like that even make money?
Kids don't read, and no adult would read it.

>>13202997
>Kids don't read,
Wrong

Wrong

>>13202918
the drawing style is atrocius

>>13202981
>white is bland

>>13202997
Not many people read, but there's a small group of people who read A LOT and aren't very picky about quality beyond some pretty basic prose, narrative, and formatting standards.

>>13202957
It's very bad for books for teenage girls having live interests that look like typical boy band members instead of rap artists.

>>13202930
neither is the girl from hunger games. I'm beginning to suspect you're missing the point here.

>>13202918

Western cosmopolitanism considers white ethnocentrism to be heresy

>>13203163
"No!"

If this shit isn’t happening in a girls life she will orchestrate it. Apparently it’s called a sexual script

>>13202957
This is the most enojyable detail in the comic. Future scholars will waste hours debating the necessity of mentioning it.

>>13202957
It was also pointed out that they are hot, but you didn't think that was seen as a negative. A little biased are we, shitlord?

>>13203357
Hotness is noteworthy, since most people aren't hot. Being white in a white majority country isn't at all noteworthy, yet it's still considered to be so by the type of people who think an all white love-triangle should be a thing of the past.

>>13202957
Go back to /pol/, triggered incel

>>13203388
>Being white in a white majority country
Which country are you talking about? Most of these books are set in some fantasy land or in a dystopian future.

>>13202930
You say that as if the girl from hunger games is a vampire

>>13202921
When I was in middle school I was very into the Maximum Ride series (largely forgotten now) “by” James Patterson (yes, that one)

In hindsight it has all the hallmarks of bad YA: impossibly wise but yet innocently curious youngsters, edgy love interest (his name is literally Fang), amazing combat skills, supposedly powerful evil organization that keeps getting thwarted book after book

oh also they literally have bird wings

>>13203404

>>13202997
>and no adult would read it.
there's an entire cult of middle aged women who are obsessed with the moody sparkly vampires in twilight

>>13202921

Question. Why is this genre called 'Young Adult' when it is more focused toward teens? I mean, I wouldn't consider someone an adult if they read YA shit

>>13202921
Lord of the Flies

>>13202921
The Crying of Lot 49

>>13203404
>mad over hot white guys
I smell insecurity, tubby.

>>13203878
Isn't it obvious?
Marketability.
Teens would rather read something that's supposedly for young adults.
Something for teens would make them feel immature, something for old adults would be perceived as uncool.

>>13203878
Because it usually focuses on young adult protagonists and is aimed at a wide range of people (usually between the ages of 16 and 35). The vagueness of it is why publishers keep trying to force new subgenres (like 'new adult') to more precisely pander to their audience, but it never really sticks.

Wasn't this basically Athena in the Iliad?

Every single fantasy novel that has come out in since Harry Potter is a YA novel. Prove me wrong.

>>13203177
evolutionary yes, females are programmed to choose from competitors, so obviously a girl would try to orchestrate a competition.

>>13204496
Id go even further and claim all Fantasy and Sci-Fi are YA and childrens books

>>13202957
RENT FREE

>>13202957
Because white = hot

>>13204550
I would say that that is debatable, and I can certainly understand why you'd say that, but the HP books were the final nail in the coffin that killed any possible debate, imo.

>>13203650
Why do you put the "by" in question marks?

Also, with some of the things you said, namely the combat skills, and wings, it makes sense that they're there, as its explained in the book. Do you think these elements aren't organic, or are porr elements in the story?

I ask because I write a story with similar themes in my spare time and the Maximum Ride series is, as I'm coming to find out, a huge source of motivation of it all. I read the stories when I was younger, but I never noticed some of the parallels I include in my own story.

exterminate the jews and their liberal servitors. only then will the qualification of whiteness be irrelevant and we can be just people again.

>>13204624
Just kill yourself, you add absolutely nothing to the quality of the discussion on this board whatsoever

>>13203878
I read moby dick and the classics when I was a teen.

I never read young adult period.

>>13203858
No, I'm not a weirdo.

>>13202957
if anything it's a positive, the girls/women will only buy into the books of the genre if the attractive romantic interests are both white.

Why should I care about this?

>>13204624

>Why do you put the "by" in question marks?
Paterson admits he hires ghost writers, he just puts his name there for marketability

>>13203878
if you go to the “teen” section it’s all books that’s more fitting for 10-15 year olds
“young adult” sounds mature

>>13204586
The elements obviously are explained in the story, but Paterson is just a cliche monster and didn’t realize how much of it were YA tropes

I’m sure your story is fine, it’s not that these fantasy elements are bad - it’s that it should be used with caution

>>13202918
How do we prevent this?

>>13203017
The actuall implication is that white people cannot have individual identity. Since grouping themselves collectively as white is also bad, they just wind up with absolutely no identity whatsoever.
It's not the white=bland, it's that white=no identity. And now you know why white American teens desperately pretend to be urban criminal youths.

Heh, how dare those suckers enjoy pastry so much to make a comic about it. We ought to turn Schopenhauer on this artist so he can wallow in misery with the rest of us

The OP is basically anime (cartoon) but 10x less aesthetic. Looks GOOFY as heck. I don't see your point, the other anon is right.

>>13202921
The Hunger Games

>>13207481
I think the big thing was that the cartoonist was trying to talk about a serious personal issue through that manner.

>>13207510
Nah, OPs style is way more pleasing

Who gives a shit. You're not the target audience. Let tweens read tween shit.

>>13203015
the drawing style is deliberately exaggerated in an attempt to have a unique style. it's hard for the current crop of thumb-fingered autists to scrawl out something that doesn't look like every other webcomic.

check out John Crawford's "Baboon Dooley". THAT was unique.
