In the 1870 census, Boise, Idaho was almost 50% Chinese. Just...think about that. Think about Boise, Idaho today and what you think about it racially.

What happened after that was, to put it bluntly, repeated violence against the Chinese population in the West.

Anytime I see numbers showing that Asian people are less underwater than others, I wish we were actually fucking teaching the history of Asian people in this country.

Instead, maybe people are told that Chinese laborers built the railroads in the mid-1800s and then... like, nothing at all.

Basically Jack Reacher has sex with The Law Enforcement Officer Du Livre as a break for the author exhausted by choreographing constant violence. Whereas a Regency duke has a full bare-knuckle boxing scene as a break for the author who really cannot think of one more synonym for penis.

If you're writing a SFF / thriller you can have all the gratuitous sex scenes you want but the murder and violence has to advance plot and character.

If you're writing romance, the *sex scenes* need to advance the plot, and the *murder and violence* are where you go to town.

"They made me feel really old,” he says. “They were like, ‘What is a wolf and why is it on parade?’ And I was like, ‘I hate both of you.’ And I was like, ‘Feist? 1,2,3,4?’ And they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, we watched that on Sesame Street.’ And I was like, ‘Again, I’d like to push you down a flight of stairs. Your youth enrages me.’”

Man standing in field of sheep holding rainbow flag.

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
