Seriously, read on BTS and women's desires. The novel sounds enticing, but the Vulture review is written with a different sensibility aimed towards click-bait. But it doesnt have a nuanced understanding of genre, platform, and methodology.

While I appreciate my work being quoted in @vulture, writing about older women having sexual desires as “chipperly boring” by @CatZhang1 is dismissive of me and the women. Exploring how these women finally have a place to feel embodied desires, I guess, is “pretty boring.”

I hope people use this bizarre writing-off of the piece as an excuse to *read* it; @raneutill's "BTS: Permission to Desire" is so beautiful and heartbreaking and nuanced and inspiring: lareviewofbooks.org/article/bts-pe

Also not sure what “moonlighting as a fandom scholar” means. I’m just an adjunct who has no job security. Sucks to be condescended.

Basically a straight Asian film critic writing about how EEAO is overrated followed by lots of white comments agreeing and calling this take interesting 🤔 Interesting, indeed.

"More than one noted that they loved & desired the band members because of their ability to cry in public, touch each other, & provide language of encouragement. In BTS, these women discovered things that some of them might not regularly see or receive..."

This piece means so much to me. I interviewed 25 women over 40 about the permission has given them to have desires, something foreclosed to women as they age.

Billboard never fails to prove to everyone how horrible they are. Racists in every shape and form. They know what they’re doing They’ve covered them for years. This is all on purpose.
