bloodyrosemccoyOh, terrific. With geniuses like these, it’s going to be a real party to try to sell the OGYAFE. The only white characters in there are a librarian and a cat.
I feel it is important to point and laugh at bigoted dumbasses. When people behave ridiculously, I think they deserve to be ridiculed. Dumb bastardry has to be shown for what it is.
I admit, I have not even bothered to read The Hunger Games. I just don’t DO dystopia. I like to read about worlds that may not be perfect, but which are at least places I wouldn’t mind hanging out in. But I am glad it’s so well-liked, because from what I understand, it’s a pretty good YA franchise.* So hey, good job, Hunger Games! And don’t let the racists get you down.
*Although even bad franchises may spawn awesome things. You can’t tell me the world isn’t a better place now that Growing Up Cullen exists.

Date: 2012-03-26 10:45 pm (UTC)Never read The Hunger Games (never even heard of it until the movie posters started appearing...kinda wish the same was true of Twilight), but the "teenagers-forced-to-kill-each-other-for-the-TV-audience" premise seems suspiciously close to that of Battle Royale.
BTW, just borrowed Un Lun Dun from the library. I liked Perdido Street Station so I have high hopes for Mieville's YA novel.
