Only after they're cold and unresponsive. We don't want any unfortunate incidents where one of the EMT's might be one of those scary transes, after all.

Wasn't the reason J.K. Rowling put her name like that on Harry Potter books because at the time, books by women weren't selling in that genre?

Suck it up, potentially fictional male writer. If you're supposedly creative enough to write a book you're creative enough to make up a pen name.

Look, it's a buyers' market, we can't just cancel J.K. Rowling when there's a market for that.

We need to make a better J.K. Rowling to replace her. Or, failing that, flood the market with so many J.K.s Rowling that the original can't succeed.

I think agents just say this, I’ve heard this from
some people with agents both irl and on podcasts.

I think it’s just agents being lovely and annoying and lazy. They probably couldn’t give a poo poo either way.

New York Post, May 23:

Comedian Tyler Fischer claims he was rejected by agent for being white

A white comedian claims he was rejected by a Big Apple management company because of his skin color.
Brooklyn funnyman Tyler Fischer, 35, was trying to find a talent manager in October 2020 when he first connected with AGI Entertainment Media & Management, a Manhattan outfit that reps comedians Samantha Bee and Colin Quinn, television host Julie Chen and journalist Natalie Morales.
“I was ready to sign the papers … and that’s when the conversation took a turn,” he said.
AGI assistant Alex Brizel said, ” ‘We love you. Everyone here loves you and thinks you’re a star, but we’re not taking you because you’re white.’ And that’s when my stomach dropped,” alleged Fischer, who is now suing the company for discrimination in Brooklyn Supreme Court.

“He said, ‘Would you want to audition for ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm?’ All these shows that I love and so it sounded like they wanted to work with [me],” Fischer told The Post.
Months went by and nothing happened, said Fischer, who said he was “kind of just waiting by the phone.
Then AGI finally called.
“My therapist always said, ‘Make sure you get things recorded,’ so I hit ‘record,'” during the phone call, which he took while in his podcast studio.
“I think I said something like, ‘So you guys like me, you want to work with me, you know I’ve got what it takes, but the only reason is because I’m white?’ And he said, ‘Yeah.’”



“I have endless people reaching out to me privately saying, ‘This happened to me. I’m too afraid to speak out.’ I had an acting agent reach out the other day who said, ‘You have no idea how bad it is. They’re not hiding it,’ ” he said.



Fischer has since hired manager Jon Fatigate, who helped him book a role on the Daily Wire film “Terror on the Prairie” with actress Gina Carano. 
Fischer, who is seeking unspecified damages, said, “I’m hoping this can draw some attention to getting back to why are we putting race and gender and pronouns and all this before who’s qualified for the job.”

The editor thing specifically feels like it's too much work to explain why your story sucks truckloads of rear end so I'll just say society can't handle it right now.

It's always funny when these guys have stories of being passed on a promotion, a job, a grant, a college application, etc. because in their story the person always comes up, takes them aside, and goes "uh you're qualified, actually you're even more qualified than the other guy, whose test scores I'm going to show you now, but we have decided not to pick you solely because you are white and they are not white." It's cool as hell they never have to read between the lines or recognize the patterns or make shaky assumptions, the dude always just tells them!

My guess is that the conversation went something like

Brizel: Look, obviously everyone here thinks you have great potential, but we don't have a spot for you right now. Sorry.
Fischer: Is this because I'm white!?
Brizel: ...
Brizel: Yeah. It's because you're white. :rolleyes:

Being called a "funnyman" in this day and age feels like an extremely savage insult. It's not a case of finding synonyms for "comedian" to spice up your article, you want the world to know "this guy sucks".
