I’m hereby saying to the ham-fisted error-makers: what happened was really really bad. Here’s why:

the past twenty years “mainstream,” heteronormative capitalism made social contracts with GLBTQ persons. We’ll sell you all that stuff, and we’ll give you discounts, and it’ll be even more convenient, and customer service will be more predictable.

Amazon breached that social contract

in a world where whiteness and straightness are “norms” and males benefit from our patriarchial history, it is always the GLBTQ books, the queer books, the non-normative books that get caught in the glitches, the ham-fisted errors.

We cannot be given the benefit of the doubt, because it is always us who get the benefit of the doubt in our society,

and if we are to say

we’ll hook you up just fine, then we can never let this happen.

the books that were de-ranked were de-ranked because it is always the outsider whose books get de-ranked
