Scene:    I’m reading some fat fantasy book set in Yet Another Faux Medieval Europe. Nothing in this story jibes with my understanding of actual medieval Europe. There’s no fantasy version of the Silk Road bringing spices and agricultural techniques and ideas from China and India and Persia. There’s been no Moorish conquest. There aren’t even Jewish merchants or bankers, stereotypical as that would be. Everyone in this “Europe” looks the same but for minor variations of hair or eye color. They speak the same language, worship the same gods — and everyone, even the very poor people, seems inordinately concerned with the affairs of the nobility, as if there’s nothing else going on that matters. There are dragons and magic in the story, but it’s the human fantasy that I’m having trouble swallowing.    It doesn’t matter which book I’m reading. I could name you a dozen others just like it. This isn’t magical medieval Europe; it’s some white supremacist, neo-feudalist fantasy of same, and I’m so fucking sick of it that I put the book down and open my laptop and start writing. Later people read what I’ve written and remark on how angry the story is. Gosh, I wonder why.

This essay definitely stands the test of three years, and I highly recommend reading the whole thing. It’s spectacular.

TRIGGER WARNING

- This is a problem. 1. Ricardo Diaz Zeferino shot while helping a friend look for his stolen bike. Zeferino died at the scene and the friend behind him survived. The officers were not charged. 2. Levar Jones survived being shot while reaching for his license after being told to get his license. He had been stopped for a seatbelt violation. The officer was charged. 3. Andrew Thomas was shot in the neck and later died after climbing out of his overturned SUV. The officer who shot him didn’t tell anyone that the man inside had been shot and then after the wound was discovered, lied about shooting him. It went as far as sending officers back to the bar Thomas had just left in order to find out if he had been shot there. The officer was not charged. 4. Dontrell Stephens is paralyzed after being pulled over on his bicycle and shot. He was unarmed and committed no crime. The officer stopped him because he thought he looked suspicious. The officer was not charged. 5. Homeless man James Boyd was shot and killed as he was gathering his things to leave an area where he had been camping. Two officers on trial. The department maintains that the use of force was within policy.
