I honestly don't really know what to do with the story, it's one of those things like ISLAND OF THE BLUE DOLPHINS where it's just really a sanitized/sensationalized version of shit that white authors haven't shown a good job of understanding THE LIFE OF PI isn't much better

It's fine I guess. It's not nearly as invidious as 1984 or 451. I don't know that you can really use it as a rhetorical weapon against leftism (except maybe anprims). At best it's a book about toxic masculinity and dominance culture among males which is kinda Tiptreeish tbh

There's multiple possible different etymologies for the f-slur for gay men and the fact that one of them is that "f***ing" refers to the practice of assigning first-years to seniors to be their personal servants is very distressing

I think one of the best parts of the Crown is depicting the terrible place they sent Charles off to.

They fucked him up, and good. Honestly, considering how awful it was to him, he came out relatively ok.
