The Cancel Pigs Are Still Here

Authors are not yet free to say true things

“It’s not happening. Okay it is happening and it’s a good thing. And if you disagree that it’s a good thing, that’s violence. That means anything I do to you is self-defense.”

Last week, a lady I have never spoken to or heard of was driven off of Twitter. Her crime?

Author Jordan Lee noticed that literary agents weren’t interested in the kinds of books she was writing. Specifically, because she is white, straight, and female. And her characters are all straight. She didn’t spell this out, but I assume her MCs are white as well.

Well of course, the wokescolds, though out of power in general, are still very much in control in trad pub, and they weren’t going to allow Jordan to notice these things.

If you thought that the majority of odious cancel pigs moved over to Bluesky, you’d be wrong. Oh, they went for a while, but they came back. They always come back. And they shared Jordan’s post far and wide, demanding their pound of flesh.
