The moment I followed artists on social media i was condemned. If you make pretty art people will follow you even if you're right wing.

COYOTE

@coyotemedia.org

Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

South Korea, 1983. Hyun Sook joins a book club at her university, and learns that there's all sorts of reasons why a totalitarian administration would call seemingly harmless titles 'illicit' and ban them.

You are not ████ to ███████. 🔇
store.ironcircus.com/products/ban...

Other students her age cry for the president to step down during a drum and dance play featuring a fable monster that eats men. Hyun Sook is flabbergasted that even in a traditional folk dance team, there is a protest. She blurts it out. "I joined this team to STAY OUT of politics!"

But one of her dance crew speaks up to her outcry. "In times like this, NO ACT is apolitical." "Not even a MONSTER DANCE?" "A Monster who EATS YANGBAN. You do know what a Yangban is, right?" Hyun Sook is unabe to answer more than an um, "A POLITICIAN. Can't get much more political than THAT."

Hyun Sook is shocked to learn that of the dance. "It's 900 YEARS OLD!" To think that something so old would have the same modern complaints of administration made her jaw drop.

Another dancer with glasses at the front of the prop of the monster lifts his side of it to comment. "Then I guess we'd better protest harder, because we STILL have all the same problems!"

"That ENTIRE DANCE was just to push people into wanting to fight politicians?" Hyun Sook wonders, watching over the energy this has started, smoke rising in the background.

"Oh, no." corrects the first dancer. "YOUR LOUD DRUMMING is enough to get them riled up for that."

Does that sound familiar to you? Pick up a copy of Banned Book Club, and read of how book analysis and protest led to change in South Korea!
