To kick off SEASON 3, Francina Simone and I talk about cancel culture in the book community, and the way it harms the people it claims to protect. This conversation is much longer than regular episodes, because the subject matter called for a lot of complexity and nuance, and we wanted to get that right. Please don't let the length stop you from listening. I believe this topic is very important, and it's something we need to talk about more in the book community. If you agree or disagree with what Francina and I had to say, I'd love to hear your thoughts! Tweet to me at @Brianna_daSilva or @FemalesInFantasy, or send me a note at femalesinfantasy@gmail.com. Let's keep the conversation going. --- To dive deeper into the topic of book controversies, censorship, and online toxicity, here are some great videos from Francina's channel I recommend!
