Way before I would have been able to learn about kink lists any other way.<br /><br />That does seem like something that the feminist blogs would be good about, but I don't think that people should have to be restricted to that path to find out if a book is going to be triggery. How many people actually look at a book and think, 'Oh, I need to check with Feminist-world before I read this.' Not very many would be my guess.<br /><br />*Feminist-world is not a real thing, to my knowledge. And if it is, I'm not referring to the real thing.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-23648450867780500182012-05-11T14:12:58.349-04:002012-05-11T14:12:58.349-04:00Heh, I guess it says something about me that it wa...Heh, I guess it says something about me that it wasn't through fanfic that I learnt about kink lists.

So the warnings aren't for me so much as they are for the rest of humanity. :) I'm honestly more likely to be attracted to books with certain warnings.<br /><br />But your situation with The Lovely Bones is one of those that I was thinking of. It's not just the money, but some people have a very bad reaction to seeing or reading about portrayals of things like that and I think that they should be warned ahead of time, so they know and can either choose not to read it at all or know to be cautious.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-12325460480335836122012-05-08T17:21:24.180-04:002012-05-08T17:21:24.180-04:00Oh look, a new book for my list! :)
