Alberta bans school library books it deems sexually explicit
-
My brother an I came up with ‘Gemmell theory’ which breaks down all his characters by archetype. Female archer, strong willed, ‘manly’ in some regards, yet sexy. Warrior. Has seen some shit, probably had a deal with a demon and/or has a destiny. Bard. Light comic relief. Probably a mate of the warrior. May know a little light magic. You get the idea. I think there are only about 5 archetypes in Gemmell theory.
Oh for sure. There is of course a gentle-soul warrior that is cursed with killing being his only real talent, and the giant that hide a lot of emotions under surface. Most of his books are very symilar to eachother, to the point that he uses exactly the same comparisons, metaphors and jokes sometimes… I still think he’s a master-writer. Gemmel writing heroic fantasy is like Kubrick directing a porn. Genre is not enough to obscure the genius behind it.

Explicit sexual content, defined by the province as detailed and clear depictions of sexual acts, including masturbation, penetration and ejaculation, will not be accessible to students in any grade.
also
Religious texts, such as the Bible, will be allowed on the shelves.
I’m shocked… really, like, i 100% knew that was going to be in there article. So actually, I’m not shocked. Fuck you Alberta.
The Bible contains stories of rape, incest, murder, torture, dashing babies heads on rocks, prostitution, and more. Ban the Bible.

I don’t know what to tell you. If this metaphor qualifies as a ‘detailed and clear’ depiction of sex for you, sure I guess? I see what you’re saying in that case.
Maybe I’ve just been exposed to more clear and detailed written depictions of sex lol.
yes we get it you’re a conservative, you don’t have to prove it by continuing to try to twist facts to match your predetermined worldview

And you borrowed these books from your school’s library?
To clarify: You borrowed fucking Lolita from your school’s library? And you want other kids to be able to do the same?
Were you homeschooled by a pigeon? Fuckin hell, I can’t believe people like you exist outside of satire.

They had to explicitly exempt religious texts, lol.

The right doesn’t have a monopoly on hate, the difference is you’re always punching down

Whereas the left get to hate everyone! Even each other! But the hardest part of the hate is reserved for those who would reduce the quality of our experiences by being dickheads. Say, by restricting access to art. I’m with you brother! Let us hate together! Maybe even each other!

Oh I think those two are the same as the warrior, lol. My archetypes have a little tolerance. But there’s definitely a dual strand – the ‘dark’ hero (waylander) and the ‘light’ one (druss). Both ends up characterised by both aspects usually though, which is why in Gemmell theory they’re unified.
Best one was lion of Macedon. I still think about that sometimes.
