Ironic...Maybe a metaphor would have worked better.<br /><br />Ironically, the big-print labels made it <i>harder</i> for me to parse what it was about. I thought the names for TheOtherGirls were supposed to be jabs at internet usernames.nullhypothesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784779286499862559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106243389695628804.post-3441413069433894282013-09-11T06:43:49.094-04:002013-09-11T06:43:49.094-04:00Because that's what makes it an allegory, rath...Because that's what makes it an allegory, rather than a metaphor.Froborrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08782366056731381450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106243389695628804.post-26281258103966929642013-09-11T01:22:54.944-04:002013-09-11T01:22:54.944-04:00I went back and read the rest shortly after postin...I went back and read the rest shortly after posting the previous thing. "Huh," I said. "That was really messed up. But I wonder why it hit Froborr so hard?" Then I went to work. About halfway through my shift this story snuck up behind me and kicked me right in the gut.

A sadly accurate social allegory, and the kind of story that makes you so enraged that you want to go out and make the world a better place just as a personal screw-you to the villains.<br /><br />I just wish the story hadn't felt the need to repeatedly pause itself and spell out the allegory for us.nullhypothesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784779286499862559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5106243389695628804.post-82222623116921300482013-09-10T15:43:30.338-04:002013-09-10T15:43:30.338-04:00Oof.
