    Fair enough, it’s just every well known YA author I can think of off the top of my head has shit politics. Also most examples of YA I know of have shit politics story wise too. Also I’ve found the whole existence of the genre kinda weird, what specifically about them makes them for “young adults”? People in that age range are generally mature enough they could just be reading regular literature, outside of them having younger protagonists (which there is plenty of non-YA literature with younger protags) idk what is specifically is “YA” about them besides maybe having a bit easier to digest prose?

      This is true for books of all genres in the global north I think.

      what specifically about them makes them for “young adults”?

      That’s a good question, and I’m sure the definition is controversial (like all genre definitions). I haven’t read this too closely because I’m hexbearing at work, but I found this article which is probably a good starting place: https://www.tckpublishing.com/young-adult-fiction/

      young adult is misleading cause it sounds like it could apply to teens (who should probably be graduating to regualr ‘adult’ lit) but i think its reasonable for there to be something between learning-to-read baby prose and full hog literature

        That’s fair, but most YA lit I know of usually already have some fairly adult ass stuff on them that’s as bad as anything you’d read in most regular adult literature.
