Linda Tirado says it how it is.
And sure, I've never been to the US of A. I only know what I saw in Ukraine over the forty years of my Ukrainian life.
And I saw some pretty fucking similar things to what's happening in USA.

(1) Write genre from outside of it in, not the inside of it out.
(2) Try not to model yourself on the best of genre writers, only on the best of writers. Obviously your choices there will be subjective, but the risk with genre is it's a rabbit hole.
(3) Don't try to undo genre using its own tools.

Trump came up in the "I Know A Guy" economy. If anybody is well-placed to track down a body he buried that actually matters, its likely a New Yorker

Not because they beat him before, but because they have more experience with him. Which in the case of journalists and the prosecutors in many of his real estate cases, is true in the most literal sense.

A vampire in the movie saying "Can't I fondle my own grandson"

I lived it: went to see Mario Bava's wonderful, gorgeous Black Sabbath at the New Beverly last night and afterward some guy in a This Is My Costume t-shirt said we ruined the movie by laughing during the funny parts.

All avant-garde literature is either Protestant (Hemingway et al) or Catholic (Nabokov et al) and David Foster Wallace killed himself because he had Protestant ethics and Catholic talent.

This being still a religious country, many have not been told that the Golden Rule is not true.

i mean that is just so normal these days. if someone is online talking about a guy who wrote a book about comic books they are a big nerd and big nerds online just spend all day smugly announcing shit they did not look up

because they're a lonely nerd on the internet so they parasocially make up guys to get mad at?

I don't know why they're mad at this game but the first one was awesome and the new one sponsored a samurai movie film festival so they're wrong
