The war on words: how cancel culture is taking over the literary world
Books pulled last minute and staff threatening to strike because they disagree with JK Rowling - Katie Law reports on how publishing went woke

By Katie Law@jkatielaw

Who would have thought that in 2021, as cancel culture becomes the new norm, the effect on authors has been to plunge the literary world into a freedom of speech crisis? Author Lionel Shriver calls it “a quasi-Soviet phenomenon”.

A writer says or writes something controversial on social media, in print or on TV. The news breaks, the crowd bays for blood, the tide turns and the writer is “cancelled”, shunned or left with a badly-damaged reputation.

In the past year, high-profile authors targeted include JK Rowling, Jordan Peterson, Jeanine Cummins, and Julie Burchill, and there are plenty more, many of whom we have never heard of. Some are deemed to have committed worse crimes than others, resulting in anything from mild censorship to accusations of insensitivity, cultural appropriation, misogyny, racism or transphobia, while others have had their book contracts revoked - and writers must learn to navigate this moralistic new world.

“Publishers are not working in a vacuum, they’re part of a larger social tide,” says Shriver. “They read the same newspapers we do, and they’re frightened like everyone else, because it’s a merciless movement, with people piling onto the side of righteousness for self-protection.”

What's the alternative being offered though.

Make interest deductible again.
Allow in foreign investors back in.

keen to hear solutions instead of a list of complaints.

Cindy's "pulling all the levers" isn't she Panda. A foreign buyer ban that every expert said was neither here nor there as they were about 3% of the problem, yet still Labour thought they knew better than everyone else so they pulled that lever....and nothing happened. Yet it doesn't stop Cindy (or Panda) continuing to yammer on about the foreign buyer ban as if something was acheived. Labour do the easy stuff, like giving a Matariki Public Holiday, but they can't do any of the tough stuff.

I've suggested it previously Panda, The game is up for Cindy, time you dusted of that cv and secured your future. Your days on the 9th floor are numbered.

I'll be moving to Canada or Australia (provided they elect a newer modern govt in a few months).

There will be no opportunity left here if cindy goes.

Bring on 2023!

Can't wait!

And take Cindy with you. What a freaking waste of space she has been, along with her team of nincompoops.

How about your lie that women cannot be communists?
