"Cancel Culture", Sarah J Maas, and book banning

He wrote this honestly pretty not good like quality book called As You Grow.

And I think that consumer activism is a necessary form of participation in a system where it is a necessary consequence as well, in a system where economic power already shapes the culture and consumers have less economic power than businesses, and that's why this book is so important for y'all to read, so you can see just how little power the individual consumer wields up against these giant corporations who have fought for their right to have the same rights as actual individuals when all they really want to do is not be an individual, they just want to make money as a corporation.

So like for instance, this is one of my favorite books. It's also one of the most banned books in the United States. It is banned in high schools because it contains content where the main character is sexually assaulted.

Another example I want to bring up of this is the time that I read a book by a Christian fundamentalist woman who was doing weird dystopian gender stuff, and I pointed out that her book was homophobic, and that she had been sort of intentionally misleading in order to get non-Christian readers to pick up her book

I absolutely loved this book, cried a little bit at the end. With all the frustration I deal with as an actual public schools parent who is fighting against people who are not public schools parents who want to ban books from my child's public school shelves, Rainy feels like a friend and my advocate.
