Saying that it’s not important to read diverse authors because there were diverse cultures in the Hellenistic era is like saying we don’t need study biology because dinosaurs once existed.

Not only is it a poor argument, it’s a complete non-sequitur.

Greek people are considered white these days, to the extent that white supremacists (and misogynists and anti-Semites) love to refer to writings from ancient Greece (and Rome) to bolster their bullshit arguments.

why is it important to read diverse authors at all? if their work is good then it stands on its own quality. "read diverse authors" is a trick to get you to buy a bunch of garbage from a slightly different colored iowa school industrial complex clone, which is to say, means-tested welfare pursued by other means

You are stupid for arguing within the terms of idiots. The idea that you "should" read anything is a ridiculous idea for a post-modern neo-marxist jewish transgender atheist to hold. Watch me btfo them with basic questions.

Diversity fiction is the current iteration of The Da Vinci Code-style detective thrillers abundant in 90s-00s, which means vogue genre literature marketed for women that claims to be smart but isn’t. In 10 years people who buy physical copies of these books will be struggling to find anyone to give them away for free.

Those fucking comments remind me why I no longer go to reddit. I see stupid shit on here all the time, but most of the time I assume the person who wrote them was trolling. Reddit actually believes they are smart when in reality they have their own heads shoved deep in their asshole.

that was clearly written by a teenager with very little real life experience.
before the social media era people would keep thoughts like that to themselves or just talk to their friends (which existed in the real world). now anyone can post arse gravy like that for the world to see.

As the other anon said, this is clearly just a young poster. There's nothing wrong with what they've written, and excitement over these concepts should be rightly encouraged. How can you be so smug and superior in the face of such innocent trepidation?

That is not exactly clear, redditors are really that dumb. I hope it is someone 16-18 who is beginning to take the plunge into literature, but based off my experience with reddit, it is some 30 year old soiboy that has only read comics up to this point.
