The Wandering Shop

Quinze PlushWhile I loved <a href="https://wandering.shop/@clacksee" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@clacksee</a>'s <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/VigilauntieJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VigilauntieJustice</a> series and posted a warm recommendation, I could not finish their <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/StarshipTeapot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StarshipTeapot</a> series, due to too many toxic characters:<ul><li>book 1 has a character who profusely swears, apparently for comedic effect? This escalates into gratuitous verbal abuse in chapter 9 and the crew just ignores it instead of standing up against the toxicity. This got me to shelve the book for a week before begrudgingly finishing it. I was not thrilled to see that character return in book 2, but decided to give it a go</li><li>book 2's plot revolves around saving an alien race from themselves. Problem? This race is so toxic as fuck that I have no interest in whether they live or die. I unfortunately will not finish this one</li></ul>I understand the author's idea of building against the "people are enlightened and perfect" sci-fi trope, but they unfortunately didn't stick the landing here. I appreciate the risk-taking through, as this is the only way for art to bring anything new.
