DEAR C.S. FRIEDMAN,
PLEASE TO STOP WRITING BOOKS ABOUT NOBLE WARRIOR ALIEN RAPISTS AND GO BACK TO VAMPIRES AND SLASHY GOODNESS. I KNOW I COMPLAIN WHEN ANNE RICE DOES IT BUT YOU'RE SPECIAL.
AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT MAYBE YOU SHOULD JUST STOP WRITING ABOUT HUMAN WOMEN AT ALL BECAUSE THEY INVARIABLY SUCK. STICK TO ALIEN WOMEN THAT ALWAYS SEEMS TO TURN OUT BETTER.
THAT WOULD BE NICE K THX BAI
Love,
[edit] Approximate summary of character dynamics in 'The Wilding':
Manly Male character: This is the society I'm from. It's very manly. It involves a lot of rape. We're a warrior society that exalts manly virtues such as being dumb bigots, killing each other, and raping women. Manly manly manly. Did I mention the rape? Hur hur hur.
Weak Female character: Eek! How manly! I am somehow inexplicably attracted to your manliness! Swoon!
Pussy male character: This is the society I'm from. It values diplomacy and human rights and other things which are not manly. We don't get much screen time. As a matter of fact, we don't do a goddamn thing in this book at all.
Manly Male character: Hey, my society's gonna come over into your society's backyard and rape it. Hur hur hur.
Pussy male character: Eek!
'Strong' Female character: I am a ridiculously powerful telepath who is strong and angry and hates men and is probably a lesbian.
Manly Male Character: I counter your ridiculously powerful telepathy with rape! Hur hur hur.
'Strong' Female character: Oh, for God's sake. I mean, eek!
