I went on Laura Moriarty's Facebook Page & told her that Steven Pinker was Tweeting support. She's an admirer of his ideas & seemed happy

I'd face an enraged Post - Modernist Goodreads mob if I knew that Steven Pinker had my back

-
I just pre-ordered her book. Reminded me time to buy another Pinker book, too, so put that in the cart as well.
-
I will probably be buying it myself. And the new Pinker book looks like it will be awesome.

There's no repression. Just criticism from people who have read it and reactions to the reviews.
-
“vocal critics...made up almost entirely of people who have not read the book” then person who reviewed favorably had her review suppressed.
-
Made up of people who have read the book, and some who could not finish because they found it too difficult.
-
Then why not leave the original review, and balance it with a review from an alternate perpesctive?
-
Because there is no balance.https://twitter.com/adiba_j/status/919936581582098433 …

Have you read it? I'm just wondering your basis for stating it is sensitive. The author's own word needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

A little ironic in another way... I imagine she figured she’d make a good chunk of change off the SJW crowd.

Or ppl who aren't interested in reading about a racist white characterwho "finally" comes around once things get bad enough. Hardly original
-
Not being interested in reading a book is different than deliberately sabatoging a book others may appreciate.
-
This is about online reviews, right? From the FB post, nothing about this book is being suppressed or sabotaged
-
Online reviews have a direct link to the distribution and algorithmic placement of books, so yes, there is a direct connection.
-
If every bad review is sabotage then we are in trouble
