anyway if I'm gonna be Patrick Bateman I kinda need him as my avatar otherwise that's confusing I picked that particular gif because (idk if you can read the caption that small but just open it in a new tab to see it full size) the video tapes thing comes up three times in the movie but WAY MORE THAN THAT in the book so that's kind of a book shoutout for this book website

GOOD YOU ARE yeah, Brandon Sanderson does a pretty good job and is very conscious of not only creating strong female characters but also his shortcomings in creating female characters like for his first trilogy, Mistborn, he was like "i'm going to write a book with a female main character and be good at it!" and he was very good at it!! but then people talked about the lack of other female representation in the book and positive female relationships, and he was like "yeah, i regret not making more of the crew female characters. in visual adaptation, i plan on making these two characters female" and in Stormlight he tries hard to make a fairly 50/50 balance of male and female characters it's really QUITE refreshing from other authors

it's true I read this one Riley Sager book and while the premise was good I just sort of was like "yeah, that's a male author alright"

oh my god sometimes it happens like I think part of the reason that The Long Walk is my favourite Stephen King book, other than that it's just good, is that all the characters are boys so there's absolutely no scope for him to fuck up writing women like he's not that bad at it but sometimes it's like. this was written by a man u can tell tho I read Carrie in high school and as best as I can remember it's actually a pretty good take on being a teenage girl plus psychic powers and homicidal rage, which frankly as a teenage girl was exactly what i wanted from a book, like fuck YA fiction give me more of that
maybe I ought to reread it

Videotapes are mentioned like three times in the movie but in the book it’s so, so much more He talks about the videotapes he rents in the book too and it’s mostly just porn
