This is a bad article. It starts off by referencing a tweet:

(a friend who is a literary agent told me that he cannot even get editors to read first novels by young white male writers, no matter how good; they are just not interested. this is heartbreaking for writers who may, in fact, be brilliant, & critical of their own “privilege.”)

It tries to make the claim that the reason is “more a matter of the industry’s collapsing social value than it is of feminist or woke ideology”, but never disputes the referenced tweet.

The article wants to sneer but just ends up being petty and pointless.

we all gotta start somewhere

YDI. !fuck_ai@lemmy.world is cringe. Let people enjoy things
