Rant on Sexuality and Related Messages

[othellia.livejournal.com]

This will be a bit of a change for me. Normally when I rant and say I hate things, I'm not really being truthful. Things that annoy me cause more... displeasure than anything as emotional as hate. I normally derive some pleasure from the things that annoy me because it's a bit like watching a train wreck really.

This is different. This is me resisting the urge to punch society in the face... and by correlation, a lot of fictional works, including most of the urban fantasy/paranormal romance genre.

( Cut for length, a personal anecdote, and a bit of grudgery )

Once again, I apologize since this is more of a general/personal rant than anything specifically aimed at LKH, but I think her books are a very good example and fit my frustrations to a T. I didn't even go over her later books because I don't think you need my examples to draw the correlations.
