I will accept that this is likely true in most cases. I guess I just can't understand why, I mean, you can quote passages from a book and that has been used to great effect to drive controversy, but that is the only point I would make on that. But I guess where I am probably confused is I...

@T-sama @SrNevik I think, overall I am getting what you are saying. It isn't really as much about the business side as it is about the personal safety side. I think in that regard, I would change my assessment of the editor that it is more just he is behind the curve. I think the Song Li's...

I might be misunderstanding what the content of her book will include, but you are probably right in that people maybe wouldn't have read it at the time of the press conference, but I feel like the implications of the story would imply the same themes would appear in the book, and therefore only...

I get that, but as I said in another response, as soon as the man said "I have a letter from parents boycotting your works," the dye was cast, the moderators and av team had one chance to cut the mic when he did not ask a question and then it was too late, even if Song Li had chosen to not...

I get what you are saying, but she has already decided to right those themes into her book. That is what has put her in danger, the "letter" was a classic example of poisoning the well, any answer she gave would lead to the same results because it was a set up to generate hate towards her. Even...

I get what you are saying as far as why the reaction, at least in a broad sense, but I think that the reaction in sales would be the same. Because controversial means that you have people passionately engaged and about half of those people are going to be in support of you. Unless she is in...

I really don't understand the editor's aversion to controversy in this series. I have seen time and time again that authors having their work become controversial has caused a huge boost in recognition and sales, especially with their younger audience. If the award that Song Li wants is just...

100% on the spectrum, explains a lot of previous behavior. Interested to see where this goes though. I find characters that are neurodivergent and written well to be quite interesting.

I agree with you but you imply that what I said implied some sort of priority or order to what should be done. Just to be clear, I am saying both of those things must be done, that is all.

It's complicated, as someone who was bullied in school, it hurts. It leaves wounds that two decades later I am still dealing with. But, at the same time, bullying is generally because the person is lashing out in response to their own shitty circumstances and children are the least equipt to...

Did she put her business attire back on just to check her phone?

A new chapter! Amazing! Thank you!

Maybe he is an undercover detective looking for the manager? I know that would probably be too clean of a narrative but it would be nice if he was, and eventually "caught" them and was just like "this is self defence, you should have just called the police."

"You only got to hang mean bastards, but mean bastards, you got to hang." I get it now!

Shark friendship ending! Let's Go!!!!

I think that when he went to his classroom, she was going to the administration to inform them of what happened. I would suspect they just haven't had time to act.

Exactly my first thought as well, lol.
