Found via @tuphlos on twitter, this piece has some blood pressure-raising bits; the most important is the assumption that changing the covers of genre romances of different heat levels/sexual content, changes the actual content.

"oh, these books that are no longer coded erotic romance are actually good stories/writing/characters, but I couldn't have known unless they had acceptable covers" is a thing said there.

from @Shelflove: "Inspiration is a story and stories do have power, but the recipient has to do something with it.

...we should always be aware of the choices made in the work’s production (including which work was NOT chosen) and be aware of the trade-offs and boundaries around how far it can reimagine the world."
