I don't get this author.
Last chapter, quite unreasonably: "No, trying to solve everything with words first is irresponsible, man, violence from the get-go is the way!"
This chapter: "Racism starts from well-intentioned people with a little understandable, if unfair prejudice, you can just talk to them calmly a bit and the problem will get better!"
The fuck. How can someone shoot so far to the opposite sides of any reasonable stance in two back-to-back chapters?? And, see, I could have easily forgiven this chapter for being overly-optimistic—fiction that shows a more forgiving world that we might hope or wish the world to be, definitely has an important place—but we just asked all the readers to think super-critically about this sort of thing. C'mon!
...As an unrelated tangent, I will note this is the second, if lesser, time the author expects us to sympathise with someone who did something awful in part because of jealousy, as if that were some kind of catch-all carte blanche for bad behaviour, and I have questions. >.>;
