does a book count as a meme? 🤔
I've only seen the movie, had no idea what I was getting into but damn was it solid.
ah, I haven't seen the movie but I read one was made 👀
will have to check that out!
is the protagonist a good reference of femininity or is it another case of r/menwritingwomen ?
it's a (presumably cis) woman author, so it's not anything like /r/menwritingwomen
I wouldn't call it a "good reference of femininity" either, but it is certainly authentic in its feminine characters thoughts and feelings, but more importantly the character feels like a femcel to me.
The writer is a woman though? Besides, it's not just about femininity, but being a woman and a "loser"
so many femcel tropes in the book so far:
- bizarre or taboo sexual fantasizing, over-active sexual desire
- self-loathing
- being ugly / unattractive
- alienation, loneliness
- not having sex, obviously
- hating other women for being pretty, having sex, etc.
- depression
etc.
It's well written.
