This is a scary time for writers, as we see censorship explode into our lives. As a writer, I am a passionate believer of freedom of speech, writers do challenge readers as they present scenarios, be them fiction or fact, in hope of showing people humanity and the world. A good book should challenge the reader, it should open up the world to everyone, and be a vehicle for thought. When we start dictating what can and cannot be said, we directly censor the creative freedom of a writer to freely express the real world. The whole point of reading something controversial, is to decide we what we will or will not accept, which is sort of the point of writing villains. As a woke culture takes control, freedom becomes stifled, and it bothers me that we have started on a slippery slope, towards uneventful writing. I learned about racism, and its corrosive nature at school, reading To Kill a Mocking Bird, and even at age eleven, I could see how wrong it was to judge someone because of their skin colour, and yet that is now a banned book in schools today. We need to step back, and seriously think, suppressing voices is a dangerous direction for humanity.
