He's not familiar with other cultures and didn't want to be insensitive.

I can't speak to others' experience, so my next book is going to feature nothing but straight white males.

Good on you, friend. I mean, you don't want to culturally appropriate anything or speak over other's experiences. That's why I've vowed to only ever write about white characters and consume media with white people in it. It's time to stop the hate.

Superspergs who have chosen literature as their lego base think writing yourself in as the protagonist is not post-modern enough, hence all the memeing about more and more outlandish narrative conditions.
It's all Nabokov's fault for writing a novel about a pedophile and then claiming he wasn't a pedophile. This is the only book most channers have read so they think it's the holy grail and they think Nabokov is actually worth emulating.
The fact that you couldn't figure this out on your own means you're retarded.

>author writes about anything other than just another normal day where their protagonist and the author is from, and doesn't include a full and complete detail of their emotions and subtle perspectives of the way the light illuminated the room through the window from where they sat during every mundane and innocuous activity they do on nothing but another normal day wherever it is they're from.

I figure this is the only board where I'll get to make this post and be taken halfway-seriously.

The word you are looking for is "dominant". Not "dominate", the verb. Domin-aNt, the adjective, with a fucking "n". I wouldn't have singled you out, except that for like the past two years I have been seeing retards/foreigners/troglodytes typing on their phones who apparently aren't aware of the existence of the adjective form of the word "dominate" and are never called out on it. It has been slowly driving me insane.

Thank you for your time.
