>I've just read an incredible article where "The Handmaid's Tale", a sub-par piece of science-fi trash, is defended by its author. The author, who rightly should be apologizing for her execrable prose, not only defends it but calls it "timely". The book has been made in to some sort of cable mini-series. I'm Canadian, so had to suffer through this book as a young person. It's one of those cheap, dystopian tracts. The difference with this one is it has a deeply paranoid feminist look into the future. The story is as impossible as most of these " frightening looks into the future". But to call it timely, when the possibility of this fiction ever becoming fact even more of a joke, is just a cynical cash-grab.

the book was fucking boring garbage I also read oryx and crake it was also garbage why do people like her
Gavin Garcia
>dissing handmaid's tale
the book is fucking great man
>when the possibility of this fiction ever becoming fact even more of a joke
it was never meant to imply that 'this might become reality' . the setting is like 1984 in that it shows an extreme scenarios of existing political movements . it warns against religious extremists taking power like 1984 warned against totalitarian ideologues .it was influenced by the iranian revolution which happened a few years prior and extreme religious movements in the us.
also the show shows a touch of 'children of men' in that it expands the backstory of the coup and shows that the damage to society caused by the infertility plague is what allowed this to happen.
my only complaint about the show is mixing narrated firstperson with third person and some of the casting choices.
also yea it is relevant, fertility rates are dropping and developmental diseases are skyrocketing across all western\firstworld nations (both are correlated to having kids later in life) and if this keeps going unchecked it can fuck society up in a major way and allow batshit religious people to gain more power.

ah yes and those batshit religious people will most likely be white christians right. . . ah yes i see very relevant very timely really makes me think hmm yes. . . i think i remember reading about those fundamenatlist christian no-go zones in europe happening right now. . . wow things are even worse than i thought hmm someone has to do something about this!
Ian Myers
Christians make young girls feel bad about having a triple digit partner count before thirty, pretty much a dystopia if you ask me.
Joshua Murphy
also not leftist\rightist ,its not primarily focused on some political\social message like 1984 its mostly character driven and offred's character has a very well written arc.
if you REALLY have to shove some political analysis int here its anti totalitarian , anti theocratic and pro equality\liberty in that it shows the horrors of a society which doesn't have those things .
saying its timely dosnt mean the events of the book are happening one to one right now and some dude is murdering congress as we speak . the roots of the tensions which caused the gilead movement to rise to power in the handmaid's tale do exist in our society.
i dont understand why you're trying so hard to treat it like its 1984, its not. its not a 'cautionary tale' as evident by how atwood did the exposition for the world of handmaid's tale . she intentionally didnt go into detail about how it happened unlike 1984 because you knowing no more then the main character does and relating to her was more important then telling the backstory of gilead .
gilead was made to tell offred's story, not the other way around.
my only complaint is the 'antagonists' which were pretty much shoved into the madadam story to provide some conflict in the end and served basically no purpose other then that . other then that the world and characters of madadam were pretty great and i;d love the books even if they didnt have a fight with evil bad guys in the end.

Are you fucking stupid? To think the brown and black people, who have no money and are largely destitute present any kind of a threat just shows how easy and ready you are to take it up the ass from the people who tell you that they're dangerous.
To think Christians are any kind of a persecuted victim is to be fucking retarded.
For men, yeah. Then again, it's really not their fault they're not giving it up to you, no?
There we go. Just proving the novel's point.

Oh no!
Christian discrimination is now being equated to general discrimination, and christians are being told to fuck off!
Such victims of the horrible gays! The GAYS! The same gays who have been advocating wanton slaughter and slavery for thousands of years.
Oh wait, that was the christians. Never mind.
Henry Thompson
>Just proving the novel's point.
the novel has nothing to do with feminism if you think antifeminist ramblings somehow prove its point you misunderstood something .
if it could be said to have a 'point' the handmaid's tale's 'point' is that an anti-egalitarian , anti-liberal theocratic society is a shit society to live in. atwood clearly shows how in this matriarchal/patriarchal caste system everyone is oppressed and miserable , while those at the top like fred and serena are nowhere near as bad as the soldiers dying on the fronts or the people sent to the colonies no one in that society is happy or even remotely content with things.
does your religion allow going on sites like Sup Forums ?

Oryx and Crake is okay until you realize that she wrote the whole thing as an anti-GMO screed
Isaac Phillips
its shit and everyone is miserable and oppressed . also its economy is in the shit compared to the rest of the world and they might somehow manage to get reproduction levels to replacement while the rest of the world works on an actual cure.
who disagreed with any beliefs ? some people wanted a service a bakery provided but the bakers denied it to those particular people because of bigotry .
anyways christians are scumbags why are you trying to defend them anyway ?. their 'central authority' is literally a glorified child molestation ring.

obviously the homos disagreed with the christian bakers beliefs regarding gay marriage.
its typical of vindictive nature of homosexuals that they would choose to file a lawsuit instead of simply going to a different bakery
Brody Morales
Your post reeks of doritos. But why is a business obligated to serve everyone? If someone feels discriminated against by a particular business they are free to go to another one. If the original business sees an inability to compete with non-"bigoted" businesses they'll be forced to act accordingly

O&C satirizes capitalism , consumer culture . corporate culture and even specifically biotech firms but at no point is it in any way anti GMO. in fact trying to put an antiGMO message in the O&C world would be fucking absurd.
also how the fuck can you be antiGMO that literally makes no sense. its like being anti food or anti putting-bandages-on-wounds. shit was being done in one way or another for thousands of years, nearly 95+% of poeple alive since the agricultural revolution wouldn't be alive if not for modifying organisms .
Adam Hughes
i'd be pissed as fuck if i went to a bakery that does wedding cakes and they refused to do a wedding cake specifically for me . that shit aint right.

Is the joke that he's playing a character who's an utter pleb?
Kayden Rodriguez
so you would sue a jewish bakery that refused to bake you a cake with a swastika on it?
Ian Ramirez
well if they decided they wanna believe that they should refuse to serve these people in their business they people that they refused to service can decide that their religion dictates they have to sue now.
>my arbitrary beliefs are special and should be protected
*tips bible*
Andrew Reyes
well where i live im pretty sure they can refuse as its a hate symbol. but then i live in israel kids buy each other swastika cakes and graffiti swastikas all the time because they think its edgy rebellious and cool
Benjamin Jones
Private businesses refuse service to all the time. But if you're a vindictive fairy faggot, you make a big deal out of it. I'm sure you can relate.
Jose Peterson
It is quite timely, but I wonder if people realize how it applies to Muslim majority countries.
Xavier Peterson
I'm gay and I'm not even going to bother getting married if I can't force a religious baker to make me a cake against his/her will.
Robert Lee
to people*
Camden Moore
well they won the case so apparently in that state its illegal to refuse service on those grounds .
also they did literally nothing wrong by suing . why should everyone go in and get the service this business is offering but they go in and told to fuck off ?. bakers were assholes and deserved everything they got for treating people like that.
Cooper Rodriguez
That's a hate symbol you retard. This is like them discriminating against black people buying cakes.
Isaiah Smith
Those private businesses get sued if they're breaking the law, though. Which is what the bakers were doing.
Charles Phillips
...
Asher Edwards
ok fine so instead of the scary #hatesymbol swastika the cake just has to say "adolf hitler did nothing wrong" in pink cursive lettering. would you still sue the poor jewish bakers if they refused to make it for you?
and they didn't refuse to bake them a cake because they were gay they refused to bake a cake that had a pro-gay marriage slogan on it so your race analogy is pointless and thats even assuming that sexuality and race can be equated in the first place

So, it's illegal to not bake a cake for gays, and yet this series is in anyways applicable to our society. You can get fucked in ass on the reg, attempt to buy a cake from someone to celebrate your assfucking, and financially obliterate them for refusing, and somehow this country is on the verge of becoming a theocracy? Anyone who thinks this bullshit is any less fantasy than GoT is undergoing a stroke and needs immediate medical attention.
John Turner
fuck off dude , no one cares about your christcucks.
most likely not , im pretty sure 90+% of the stimulation down there is from the area the circumcision fucks up. anyways its not that bad compared to some of the other shit they could have done to her. i really hope the show keeps following ofglen\some of the other characters . first person perspective of offred might have worked for a book but im pretty sure wont work well for a show.

so I guess a pepe cake is also out of the question
