Real life is satire

Finally, someone to publish the type of dumb garbage I would write.

Oh yeah, the very under-represented male author.

gregerskine.bsky.social•34 days ago

male authors?? well now i've seen everything! can't wait to learn more from these "malethors" and see what kinds of fun male ideas they dream up in their exotic male minds!

selizabeth.bsky.social•34 days ago

is it wrong if i say im a cis guy to publish with them

encapsidated.bsky.social•34 days ago

I assume they’re also going to focus on *white* male authors ‘cuz that’s a severely neglected demographic 🙄

Wait… they’re letting men write books now? Whats next? Letting them vote?

at long last there's a new place for novels that speak from a new place. excited to read work about such ground-breaking topics such as "I wish I was a better dad, but it's Impossible", and "I don't think that divorce was cool, I'm not that bad"

Trying to work out the logic behind this... and failing....

It must have taken a remarkable amount of restraint not to name it “seminal bookworks”

Get ready to see the worst possible writing you've ever seen

If you need a special group publisher as a straight man your writing is probably trash

For the forth time in the What's Hot Feed. Marketing at it's best.

Finally, cis white guys like me are getting some recognition! For too long have me and my fellows suffered on the fringes, our voices drowned out by women, trans folks, non-binary people, and even other men whose skin is not as pale as our own. This is the first step on a long path to equality.

scumbelievable.bsky.social•34 days ago

I'm just sorry it took us so long to recognize your humanity

quinnhpm.bsky.social•34 days ago

awww there's finally a vanity press for men.
