@chaosprime SRSLY? Maybe because if a character is unlikeable, we don't feel like spending a book hanging around with him.
@StevenBrust Hunh. That sounds like the middle of a conversation, but I don't know what one. You sure that was supposed to be @-me?

@chaosprime A response to a retweet from Amy Talkington regarding the article on unlikeable female protags. Starts reasonable, turns stupid.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@chaosprime It was at the point she says, "Why are we so concerned with whether...in fiction someone is likable." Um. Duh? -
@StevenBrust Oh yeah, that. Enh, some confusion comes in from there being this jargonized version of "likeable" secretly in play, I think. -
@chaosprime Oh. Hmmm. I suppose that's possible. *grumble about people failing to define jargon* -
@StevenBrust I dunno that Ms. Gay is aware it's at issue, to be able to define it. -
@chaosprime You certainly could be right. But now I'm suddenly terrified that every word might be someone's jargon that I don't know.
