So it’s not that it won’t be published today. It just won’t be as popular today. And would, ironically, be crapped on by other people, which is what the author is unhappy about. Thats what the author means, and represents the entirety of the “Oh I am so oppressed because I can’t say shitty unfunny jokes because other people will make shitty unfunny jokes about me in response” genre of argument. The difference between then and now is that the people in the “crap towns” have the opportunity to call the author out. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
