I really don't see how "straight white privileged male angst about reasonable consequences" is any worse than "black privileged lesbian angst about reasonable consequences", particularly in a fantasy universe.

Perhaps because one is seen more than the other, but they can both be fairly terrible. Easy categories to fall into, though.

That doesn't mean I didn't have the "squick" moment when reading the phrase. Lim always has some interesting things to say, but reading said phrase sort of tuned me out for the rest of the review.

Which is to say, that's my own reaction. It has nothing to do with my opinion, your opinion, or Lim's being right or wrong. Just that they exist. :D
