An excellent reflection from @jjoque.bsky.social that draws out some fine, but crucial distinctions that I believe will be essential for political fights for a better world.

Anna is (wrong about Darcy but) right about this. We love creative adaptations that show they get the original. That's not what this is.
it is the oldest ideological trick in the book, one played by bosses and books alike, to take a realist investigation of real estate, race, and class mobility and neuter it into smut and THAT rather than “faithfulness” is the problem we experts have
