If anyone tries to convince you that diversity in fiction (let’s say TV as one example) isn’t a good thing, or that a TV show with good diversity won’t be as popular as a similar TV show with less diversity, just remember that Luke Cage is so popular that it broke Netflix.
Anonymous: I don't know what I expected when I bought your book, but it wasn't man hating feminist propaganda. Your treatment of men is awful. They're all evil or incompetent and the women all save the day. You bait heterosexual relationships constantly even on the back cover where you say Marian meets Robin Hood and 'love blooms'. But then there are only lesbians. Not to mention the implausible diversity. 0 stars out of 5. I'm giving it to a thrift store.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to review my novel!! It means so much to me to receive reviews even now, over half a year after self publishing. I know I’m not one of the big cool great authors that everybody knows but hopefully one day I will be and getting feedback makes me feel like I can make it~<3
That being said, what the fuck are you talking about?
What’s implausible diversity, a group of companions from multiple cultures? Where does feminist propaganda come into it- because the main characters happen to be women? But it isn’t at all anti-feminist propaganda when the protagonists are all men? And, of course, the most important question: what on Earth is “baiting heterosexual relationships”?
For anybody interested in a piece of apparently man-hating, hetero-baiting, implausibly diverse piece of fiction where “there are only lesbians”- Robins in the Night is available on Amazon worldwide, or apparently in your local thrift store if you happen to live nearby this chewed up piece of Lego.
This has literally increased sales?? I’m crying
Well that’s a book to add to my to-read pile.
Great review! Really sells the book’s positive aspects!
tbh it reads like a testimonial
‘only lesbians’
‘the women save the day’
‘diversity’
(The book is really good and there’s cake and snails [not snail cake]. Also the reviewer forgot to mention Marian is trans so there’s that.)

I think that no matter how far behind Trump looks in the polls, we all still need to take the election seriously and go vote againqst him. Not only to ensure that he has no chance of winning, but also to show that a racist asshole who fucking brags about sexually assaulting women isn’t capable of coming even close to winning the election.
THIS
It’s not enough to just go ‘Oh there’s NO WAY he can win’
EVERYONE who is of voting age needs to go out and vote Democrat on November 8th
It doesn’t matter how certain you are that trump ‘Can’t’ win
GO OUT AND VOTE TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT HE DOESN’T
No.
Let’s get out there and win everything.
The White House? We’re keeping it.
The Senate? We’re taking it.
The House? We‘re coming for it.
The GOP? We will end it.
The politics of hate: of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, trickle-down economics, wealth makes right, all of it, that’s what they are, this is what they do, they are poison; we’re not taking it. Let’s get rid of it.
This election? We own it. So let’s go and get it.
I want a landslide. Are you in?
More than 30 states have Republican governors or GOP dominated legislatures.
Vote and kick them out.
Make them choke on their words. People like Trump, David Duke, Rick Snyder, Mary Fallin, they are a poison in the lifeblood of the United States. Deny them the power to spew forth their toxins. Vote against them. This is critical for all of our futures.
And don’t stay silent when they know what’s happening.
