Why most of the male booktubers in booktube are homos? And most of them "review" the same YA shit.
Booktuber these days is like 80% female 10% homos and 10% trans and i would like to know if /lit knows some nice male booktubers

There are nothing but positive comments saying everything is amazing, sharing enthusiasm for the books, saying things are great, expressing very little negativity or criticism towards the booktuber or the books. The bit of criticism - "I didn't enjoy it that much!" - that does exist is perfunctory and pathetic. Frankly, as a 4chan poster, I find it hard to have a conversation about any subject without bursting into hateful abuse or irreverent mockery, and I find the twee booktube carry-on absolutely sickening.

It's like he's trying to collect all the different "marginalized minority" authors?
This whole SJW outlook on life is so bizarre.

>I'm only going to read books by queer authors, next year I'm only going to read Mexican authors, but only if they have been disfigured in accidents, then the year after that I'm only reading books by Trans-Muslim-Quadriplegics

Why does it matter so much who the author is in their personal life? Just read a book because the back cover sounded good or your friend recommended it to you. Not because you are actively trying to collect every "oppressed" perspective.
Also why does this make me so mad?
