because the publishing industry 1. didn't give opportunities to young male authors for 10 years, 2. forced DEI wokeslop in everything and actively fought against the male gaze and 3. is apparently completely fine with the most degenerate female gaze shit. men used to fucking write books when they were able to fucking start careers and they weren't forcing an entire generation to be apparently made up of nothing but female and brown authors instead of forcing older male authors into retirement early.

Quite a few of the nerds at my job read but it seems to be all scifi, fantasy and warhammer stuff. I was reading Dickens at work and a guy noted that and told me he 'can't get into literary fiction, the language is too hard.' I love Dickens but he is not exactly high brow.

Problem!?

I would never get away with the shit I say to young 15-25yo girls 20 years ago, hell even 10 years ago, but now all of that is normalized, accepted, all thanks to these types of books! I think they are absolutely garbage literature and most of them fall into safe horny but goddamn girls are stupider than ever around man (especially older ones) and these books help get the grooming agenda across. A hundred years ago I would have been beaten up and shamed for suggesting I want to punch a girl's uterus in and bite her shoulder, now they find that idea enthralling. Listen man I like classical actually artistic literature like most people on this board, specially Pessoa, Dazai, Melville and Byron but goddamn you fuckers are just too stupid to realise these things are working for man, to benefit US!

This whole thing really blows the "people have no attention spans anymore" bullshit out of the water. People have plenty of attention, women in particular read voluminous works of smut regularly. It is the content which is the problem. The content of most serious works of fiction is awful, uninteresting, unenlightening to a modern audience with internet access. Nonfiction is almost entirely outmoded by the internet's capability to be an instantaneous, free, infinite encyclopedia. What remains to be sold as a book? Poetry maybe, smut, genre fiction, children's books, and all of these sell pretty well, go figure. People still read, they read a lot, probably more than any other time in history, but they're reading internet posts and wikipedia mostly.

This is a Target store.
Target also has the George R.R. Martin books on the shelves, or did till a month ago, along with Tolkien books, and the occasional good popular historic book like “The Wager….”.
Also, books on design, and music, and cooking.
Yes, Target isn’t Barnes & Noble, at least in store, but their website has a decent variety of books, including Ancient authors, Everman’s Library editions, Modern Library editions, Penguin books, as well as more obscure publishers that even B&N sometimes doesn’t have.
Mostly you have to know what you want, and the obscure stuff is usually purchased in the standard minimum quantities they may have to buy like a half dozen copies or something like that, so books sell out.
I purchased several of the Obscure Cities comics from Targets website, and weird architectural books.

I worked in a public building.
I saw both the Men’s and Women’s bathrooms occasionally, but thankfully wasn’t a janitor.
The men’s bathrooms usually just ran out of toilet tissue, and had urine in front of the urinals and sometimes the toilets.
(Basically standard bathroom cleaning, with the urinals the fault of the cramped layout and urinal design.
The women’s bathrooms routinely had discarded tampons on the floor, and diapers, and clogged flooded floors from diapers that had been flushed and clogged the toilets, and shit and piss on the toilet seats, and fucking underwear tied to the sprinkler, and I forget what else.
Even the fucking bathrooms used by homeless people to bathe in in public train stations were routinely not as bad.
Women can be utterly disgusting on occasion.

This is a stupid take, especially given how many comic books need to be read in some cases to comprehend a whole story line, and how the comic story lines cross over amongst different titles from the same publisher.
Also, comics require interpreting imagery and symbols, (particularly Alan Moore’s comics) and better writers usually include a huge number of outside references, such as the Gaiman Sandman comics.

This argument misunderstands what is being shown, and makes incorrect assumptions. The OP pic is of a big box (or hell, even local) book store. All it tells you is who is buying physical copies of "popular" - easy to source from traditional distruvtion - books. To go from that conclusion to the assertion that men don't read any books, or write any books, is assuming that this tiny slice of a targeted demographic is somehow representative.

The most sweeping take you can reasonably make from this is that traditional publishing for new books focuses largely on 20-60 y/o women.

Doubtful. More likely men don't buy as many books by their cover, don't buy as many physical books, and the trad publishers have a self-fulfilling expectation they won't sell as many books to men as to women. So they only publish what women want, women continue to outspend men on traditionally published physical books, and it spirals.

Meanwhile, a self published author who can market themselves avoids all the gatekeepers - and the associated costs - and can actually make a living on it, while selling to a more varied demographic than "wealthy white women." See: Andy Weir et. al.

A successful book doesn't need three NYC-based making $150k and a six-digit marketing budget spent on sponsored content.

Way to miss the point entirely. They get fewer publishing deals because they get gatekept for political reasons and because women buy more traditionally published books.

Target isn’t a “big box book store”
Target is a general store that sells food in a large enough section to be considered a grocery store, and with a pharmacy section with a prescription drug section, and with general house supplies, and clothing for men, women, and children, and toys, and small kitchen appliances, and TVs and electronics.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of the publishing industry. It isn't dominated by women because of some nefarious plot, it is dominated by women because for the past 20 years conservatives have denounced liberal arts as a waste of time and have spent their time encouraging people to get into STEM or trade school. There aren't large swathes of men who are qualified to be editors or publishers. It isn't surprising that the industry got overtaken by women and "wokeslop", all countering opinions abandoned the arts a long time ago.

What would a "male bookstore" stock besides military history, STEM textbooks, pop stoicism, and PUA stuff? Women make up the majority of buyers and readers in every other genre of book. Even philosophy and history majors are majority women now.

The best solution is to use this slop that women consume to fund the marketing of actual good works that arent going to sell well. Let it be okay for great writers to not make a big splash on the market.
Majority of women only seek out stories that fit their favorite "tropes" (porn categories) so that they can goon as hard as possible. If your book dosent enable women to goon. It's not gonna be a smash hit in 2025.
Also note that you can't reproduce the same thing with a male audience as we have far better goon options than text.

I also wrote my own romantasy novel that has gotten some positive feedback from my small reader base. I think I might submit it with a female pen name and see what happens.

The shameful mind of a man whose self worth revolves around sex. You are pathetic. Artistic integrity, intellectual honesty, ritual purity, the general quality of your own people are all, at best, petty detours from your teleology of spending 5 minutes in bed with some blown out vapid roastie. For what, anon? Have you considered that the "stupid girl" you tricked into having sex with you doesnt respect you? That while women are easier to get into bed their actual view of you as a man is disposable like trash? Get a life.

What an idiot. He might as well take a photo of the self-help section while he's at it. Surely it will be a banger on Xitter.
There are still shelves full of books for grown-ups in the rest of the bookstore. He could make a valid point about why sometimes they feel stale and often look like a combination of the same classics being sold over and over again with a small number of recent releases that are probably only there because they were recommended by some influencer or were shilled in some conference. That would be a valid comment that would raise an interesting debate on the publishing industry.

But Mr. Anthony is worried that women (who still haven't accepted they stopped being teenagers over a decade ago) have taken over his books about vampires and dragons. The solution to the lack of interest in literature is to make more books where the vampire prince fights the bad wizard to save the kingdom (but for men).

No, older women, or women in general, who wore diapers and even tampons, and who would flush the diapers and tampons due to embarrassment, even when there were cans for the items.
I literally saw this in more than one completely unrelated building.
In one context it was older women.
In another, it was probably older teenagers.
Some high schools for boys, (usually private ones), had male teachers who would have their students read the following poem by Jonathan Swift, but you really don’t understand how accurate the poem is till you see it multiple times, personally, in multiple locations, including in public buildings.
Not all women’s bathrooms are like this, but women aren’t exactly the epitome of neat, clean, and tidy.

These things can still coexist with booktoksloppa targeted at mainstream audiences. I masturbate my genius to Rimbaud, Celine and so on while copying their style of writing for letters I can write and copy paste to 5 or so roasties. It's just that everything you listed has and will always have a small and niche space amongst superior petite burgoeisie people (me) who deserve to have the world do as they please. Who cares if the plebs read slop, specially if it slop that makes them easier to groom into submission. I view them as disposable trash too otherwise I would have married already, so im glad they don't have delusions of grandeur. Only man should be allowed to have those. Im not even a "chad" or anything most of the woman i sleep with are either brown, undesirabke arthoes or slampigs, I maybe fucked 1-2 examples of actual beauty at most. Im just stating the obvious and what common sense dictates:
Who cares if people are getting stupider, it makes it easier to be just smarter and better than them that way, which I am

Idk, the plots of these books are just Anime shit but for women. If you gender swap the themes, then you get back to harem animes like Rosario + Vampire, High School DxD, Konosuba and such.
