The list of banned books is here
Read em while you can
Fucking imbeciles.
Gd inbreds.
WHAT.THE.FUCK.
Motherfuckin’ can’t read ‘Superfudge’ in Utah anymore? This is truly the darkest timeline.
It’s listed in the article. It’s “Forever” by Judy Blume. Not sure that I’m familiar with it.
Really? I assumed it would be Are You There God it’s Me Margaret. What could they possibly find offensive about Superfudge?
What could they be against a book that mentions God in the title?
It’s about a girl and her friends discussing menstruation, and wishing they could menstruate, and being jealous of other girls who already menstruate, and praying to God that they menstruate soon. I can see where that would frighten pearl clutchers.
Rhetorical! Thanks for the answer reminding us how against women these fuckers are though!
Tbf in not sure if.its against women or against bodily functions. I assume they’d probably have issues with a similar book about male puberty.
The people banning it are against books about Menstruation…which women do…
“An entire book about a girl asking if God is there!? What a waste of time! The answer is ‘Yes, God is there.’. We just saved you like 10 hours! (Though sometimes he may let you suffer or die without ever showing himself. But he’s a silly ole God, and it was probably for your own good anyways.)”
“I’m gonna need you to step back about 20 paces there… You’re talkin’ about a woman, reading?”
Whoa whoa whoa…women can read???
WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK! I’VE BEEN LIED TO. CAN THEY ALSO VOTE AND BE OUT IN PUBLIC???
If it takes you ten hours to read a Judy Blume book, that might be why you’re banning books.
Why can’t we ever get rid of fascists? Every generation they try the same crap and get away with it.
Because the same people taking away the rights are the ones saying that we can’t retaliate for taking away our rights.
Because they call themselves “conservatives” and insist they are legitimate, normal people with legitimate, normal viewpoints. This fools the normal people into a false sense of safety.
Why can’t we ever get rid of fascists?
I believe this is where the second amendment comes in.
100%
I suspect it’s just a personality type. Maybe we could use eugenics to get rid of this undesirable trait. Oh wait. Dammit

Outlaw Utah. Call it a day.
FFS Utah, your lucky you have pretty rocks, but you got to knock this shit off.
Free speech in USA is a joke, it’s both poorly protected and poorly regulated at the same time. Worst of both worlds!
So. I have this… Stance. Humanity has at no point evolved past tribalism. We all live in tribes. The tribe with the most power waxes poetic about the importance of free speech, but the truth is, they only allow as much free speech as allows their tribe to maintain their position. All the rest of our tribes can squabble over whatever remaining scraps of power are left after the controlling tribe is full up.
That’s certainly true for some people.
But I don’t see the Democrats out there banning books.
Speak for yourself. I’m all for banning ghostwritten books by conservative talking heads so they can launder money and game bestseller lists.
Going after them for fraud would work.
I mean honestly that’s how it should work. If they’re writing and publishing disinformation that’s not in the “fiction” section then there should be some kind of regulatory backlash (same with news/entertainment etc). It’s like letting someone re-write history textbooks… but I suppose that’s been going on for a long time already.
Wow, as a “privileged white cis man”, I loved JB’s books. Fuck any dumbasses against JB.
Conservatives are the ultimate fragile snowflakes. Always were, always will be.
That list is 13 books by 7 authors.
Not good, but the summary is wrong.
Edit: the article needs some proof reading
Yeah. An editor checking the headline would help.
They’ve updated the subhead, and I’ve updated my post to match the current headline.
Yes. Banning fairy porn will fix all of society’s ills.
Its not even very spicy fairy porn, if I am remembering right. Been a few years since I read the series.
My memory is lots of “wells” that go deeper and bonds that are stronger and orgasms that are brighter than she previously thought possible every single time and SOOO much my mate stuff. I find sex scenes boring so I skim through them. Absolutely nothing that was in anyway kinky though beyond maybe being pinned to the wall lol
Yeah, they really overused the “my power is limited by my subconscious” trope a bit much. Once, maybe twice would be fine, but every damn book she gained a new tier of super saiyan because someone pissed her off enough.
Also, Rand Al’Thor did the locked in a box thing better.
First they came for the books, and I did not speak out, because I am an illiterate Republican.
“so, any progress on the school shooting problem?”
“nah, we needed to fix the superfudge problem. now we’re going to work on the pokemon problem. it doesn’t glorify god!”
Pokemon don’t evolve! They become more intelligently designed!
While I hate this, I’m left wondering why we even mention the authors gender.
Is it to indicate that lawmakers go against women’s freedoms?
Yes. A lot of book bans have been focused on books written by women and minorities.
I didn’t know that, my god it’s so stupid.
It’d be funny if people who owned properties beside the schools just set up one of those take one leave one community street libraries filled with all the banned boom
They’d just ban those for operating without a license.
It’s not a library, we just have extra books! We can’t give away books now!?
What license? They wouldn’t be a business.
