Romance novels is the fastest growing genre of fiction, and highest earning genre of fiction. It constitutes 33% of all books sold in paperback format, and 82% percent of readers are women. Imagine if a bunch of insecure, narcissistic men inserted themselves in that industry, and demanded that the love interest portrayed their books must be short, ugly and poor as to not appeal to the female fantasy. Combine that with books being released with cookie-cutter copy-paste plots, and so many typos they would be hard to read, and consider how this would impact the popularity and trajectory of that industry. I wonder if some "industry analyst" would have the nerve to blame that on "a bunch of bitter, barren hags, probably nazis" rather than the industry failing to meet the wants of the customers in their market.

06:41. He's just throwing buzzwords together in that article. For example, to troll someone has absolutely nothing to do with "sales". Either he doesn't know what he is talking about, or it's a strategy to get picked on by as many keywords as possible. 17:35. True, but they will NEVER admit it's due to losing their audience. They will ALWAYS default back to the "far right/trolls" or "the economy wasn't so hot" (once they lost societal control and need to bash whoever is running the government at that point, since it won't be their "guy" or "woman" running things). Their egos won't allow them to admit making a mistake, because that would immediately discredit their so-called "informed opinions". They would rather double down on being wrong, than save whatever credibility they STILL had left.

It really is amazing how they twist words. No one they are talking about is against real diversity and inclusion, they are against FORCED "diversity" and "inclusion" to the point where it makes no sense logically or historically and is actually discriminatory against types and groups of people. The biggest problem is the "Equity" in DEI, which is why you have people who are unqualified for their jobs wrecking products and franchises. It is why they usually push "equity" over "equality." They aren't just looking to hire diverse people who qualify (and their diversity is very non-diverse as it is), they are looking to hire people that fit their "diverse" category who fall short in ability and experience so they can look like they are giving them an "equitable" boost. And when things inevitably fall apart, just blame the -ists and -phobes and get the propogandist media behind you.
