Bigotry should not be whitewashed from the literature of our past.

Nor should it be celebrated.

Oh, Right

That's why I liked Eloisa James' novels - her heroines had friends. Very important that - too often the heroines in romance novels seem to exist in isolation whereas James' heroines have friends, sisters and social networks. It made for a pleasant change.*

What the FUCK?!

Okay, Flist, I guess I know why you didn't tell me about this one back in the day - you would have been able to see the mushroom cloud as my outrage went Nuclear from Saskatoon. Fortunately for Southern Ontario, I'm Bright. And. Shiny. now and I can manage my outrage in a much more constructive fashion by vowing never to spend another cent on a Todd McFarlane product ever again.

I honestly don't know what to say about male creators who seem to think that sticking an "intended for an adult audience" disclaimer on sexist, objectifying and demeaning presentations of women (or girls, in this case) makes it okay.
