Lol there was a time when bank robbers and mobsters and bootleggers were American folk heros like the generic cowboy. America likes its archetypes.

i really think a lot of the people who got mad at the story werent angry about what it said (or what they imagined it said) about trans issues per se but rather at the implication that liberal individuality could be repurposed as a literal weapon of war

quote:

The writer N. K. Jemisin commented that she was "glad the story was taken down" and that "artists should strive to do no (more of this) harm." Jemisin later wrote that she had not read the story, and apologized.

what the gently caress

quote:

As a result of the contentious debate about her story and the personal attacks made against her, Fall entered a psychiatric hospital because of suicidal ideation, and withdrew other works with similar themes in the process of publication. Being still early in the process of transition, she also decided to abandon that process, telling a journalist, "If other people want to put markings on my gender-sphere and decide what I am, fine, let them. It's not worth fighting". She said that she was particularly struck by comments that she must be a man because "no woman would ever write in the way she did", which she said increased her gender dysphoria.

thats not the point of a folk hero. what the people read into it is the point. he was a hero because of what he represented. in a lot of ways this is like the death of the author
