What makes you put a book down instantly?

[martinelanglois]

Someone should tell male authors that the genre "Fantasy" is a totally different thing from their own "Fantasy". 🙄

[DragonHeart]

I'm totally with you on this Emily. If you can imagine magical races and intricate magic systems and world-building, why can't you imagine a less sexist world? It makes you feel like misogyny is a compass to these authors (mostly male). They lose their direction without it. Very pathetic imo

[christina]

“You can write anything but this is what you choose.” Exactly!

[e-nev]

It blows my mind how many male authors can't fathom other trials for a female character to go through apart from sexual violence, sexual coming of age, sexual anything.

[badfaithu]

I'm glad you are pointing out the sexism in books. Readers should be doing this with every book. 📚

[imperfected]

Whenever I re-read books I liked when I was younger I can't believe what I didn't notice back then!

[monisharmuk]

16:17 EXACTLY! Everything you said before that, I 100% agree! Call out those authors. On good reads, I found most of the people who rated this book 5 stars are mostly men/boys. I am terrified to think that misogyny and sexism are so deeply intrinsic and deeply rooted that none of the male readers found anything wrong with the book.
Side Note: the appearance of the tiny paw! And Charlie and Chunky make my heart swell

[qtleaves]

STILL BEAUTIFUL AT THIRTY 😭😭 im gonna yeet my 29 yo ass out of the window 😭

[insanebutterfly]

Can you do more reading 5 star reviews of your most hated books?

[karolovesbooks]

three less books taking up space on your bookshelfs, I guess that at least is a good thing! Love these kind of video's from you

[roseelio]

For Terry Goodkind : I recommend watching Daniel Greene's video titled "Why Is Terry Goodkind Controversial?", i promise you will not like this author lmao

[Emma-wnfv]

Honestly thanks for your services and helping us avoid those books.

[avsambart]

8:18 THIS!!! I always say this too! It's a fantasy / sci-fi / fictional world which means people and worlds can be ANYTHING but authors still put OUR WORLD's patriarchy and sexism etc in -- the stories can be ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING!!!! It really annoys me.

[DrLampshade]

You might want to google Terry Goodkind too. Dude was terrible. Not prison terrible, but I call him Terry Badmean. He said awful things about the fantasy genre in general, about Robert Jordan while he was on his deathbed (and the similarities between his series and wheel of tune are too close for coincidence for me), and one of his cover artists. He also called a reader not old enough to read his books when he was criticized (the reader was an adult) The misogyny and weird sex scenes in the book I read are really bad. And super creepy. Reddit has some good info on this, but I’d just put the book in the go pile before trying it

[sarahwhite]

This makes me want to create a goodreads shelf for books I never want to touch. The first fantasy book was atrocious 💀💀
I will not touch books from this author with a long stick.
Thank you for making yourself go through this!

[andreabarrat]

My video froze at the part where you were saying the mother was “Still beautiful at…”.

It created quite the dramatic pause. “TELL ME EMILY”

[a.r.e.j.]

Omfg I didn't see Goodkind on your shelf last time. Just search "why everyone hates Terry Goodkind" you'll get plenty of summaries.

[skeletonkeybooks]

So many of these books and authors are ones I have on my TBR because my 1st husband recommended them. I have a feeling this series of videos is going to save me a lot of time.

[kolibrisway]

I just want to say how much I appreciate this commentary. I don't understand why this is not talked about more.
