2011- the year that EVERYONE got a damned chip on their shoulders aboiut damn near everything.
Seriously. It's gotten beyond ridicuolus, people finding amy little thing to blow out of proportion. And IU'm not talking about the Dresden Files books- which, hello, female not quite geek here, and I enjoy them for the fictional fluff they are, despite their inherant 'issues'.
Every time I turm around, someone else is throwing a fit over a perceived or not 'slight', a perceived 'slur', a percieved 'racist image/remark/statement/whathaveyou'. Some are deperately reaching, others are legitimate but blown way out of scale.
That initial thread of yours- yes, I can see why some people would have issues with the books. But, you can get a feel for them within the FIRST book, so why, if you find them triggery, would you bother to keep reading them, when you KNOW the entire series is based around on spectacularly flawed charactor?
This may sound cold and callous, but sometimes, I think people deliberately go out of their way to find things that are trggery just to bitch about them.
