  • Tone deaf, condemnation oozing feminist libtards

    The most pretentious podcast I’ve listened to in a while. Sad cuz I wanted to like it but clear vibes received that if you’re not a woke liberal feminist (now probably anti Jewish), virtue signaling snowflake, you won’t be welcomed. Pretty much confirms my misgivings about the publishing industry as a whole, unfortunately .
