Goodreads gets an 'F.'
I'm extremely upset right now, and that in and of itself is reason enough to put off writing this post, but I'm absolutely fuming. Apparently, Goodreads is nothing more than a craigslist for book readers and writers. They have no filtering options for people whose lives mean more than just sleeping around, getting drunk, and getting high. You can go in there having written a story for christian children and have listings for erotica titles (nothing but literary pornography by, for, and about people with pointless, empty lives) show up all over your home page. Can't flag them, report them, or filter them out. You're just sitting there staring at that garbage.
I tried to search groups to join. I'm new, and trying to get some use out of this site. Just trying to get out there and get in the mix. Well, the purpose of setting up groups under different headings is so that when someone has specific interests, they don't have to sift through literally thousands of different groups. Well, what is the purpose of having different groups if Goodreads doesn't maintain the integrity of those groups? If you can set up a group for a pornographic book and list that group under the Christian heading, then what exactly is the point of having different groups?
I went into the Christian groups heading, and there's a group for Fifty Shades of Grey. That's pornography. Sex in any kind of public medium is not intimacy--it's pornography. Sorry, but we're not supposed to be spectators to sex. We're a voyeuristic society, and any forum where sex is for viewing, a woman's worth drops to absolute zero--we're nothing but a toilet there. I'm female. My life has purpose and worth. I'm not here for amusement, abuse, or entertainment.
I've about had it with the 14-year-old eye-rollers who think it's funny to take their pee pee stories and their filth and their worthless deviance, and shove it in everyone's faces and down everyone's throats. Why is that group in the Christian category? It's not bad enough I have F, F, F in listings that come up on the screen when I try to go to my home page or elsewhere on this site. I can't filter that. But you mean I can't even go to a category for groups or giveaways, and only find books that actually fit those categories that I chose to look in? No way to report or flag or filter.
This sick, filthy garbage has to be everywhere? Really?
Goodreads gets an 'F.' They just don't care. Women get abused on sites like that. Sex everywhere, of every imaginable kind--deviance galore? If it's shoved in Christians' faces, kids have no shot. It's just got to be absolutely everywhere? Goodreads is about to go.
