Adam Hattan #11 The sidekick in his own life

[GSquaredUWS]

He needs therapy, this hatred of women is not normal.

Don't worry Jen Le Feminist (''captain Minnie you are such an inspiration to women'') will be on this soon. She'd never have read this and ignored such blatant bias

Amazon is trolling Adam again

So Adam has posted multiple stories of making friendship bracelets for the Taylor concert.

I'm sorry but a 30 year old man doing something teenage girls do is...a choice. I get it's a 'thing' for Taylor (which reconfirms she's aimed at and stuck in teenage years). But still.

So, you meet a guy in his 30s and he has disney all over his home, has a self created disney job, reads YA gay lit and has posters on his wall AND he is a swiftie and makes friendship bracelets. These things are also all he can talk about and has any knowledge of.

Still trying to impress his school friends

LinkedIn is such a pointless platform for him when he doesn't work, doesn't have a career and hasn't any real experience

Wondering if this is so the factory staff know who not to say “how shit does this book look” to

 

[Geetbo]

Fuuuuuucking hell it’s even shitter than I dared hope

Also a 30 year old man writing about 14 year olds’ boners is weird as fuck.

I know this is a nitpick, but what teenager is called Helen? He didn’t even try to find names that suit the age range he’s targeting. No offence to any Helen’s out there, but it’s more suited to a middle aged person, not a teenager.

Not sure I've ever heard men's pecs described as 'voluptuous', I think you'd be laughed out any gym if you called a guys pecs that

Tearing into a 10 year old girl after ripping every other female character is genuinely shocking. Will he call a baby a cunt before this is over?

 

[Geetbo]

“Open after reading.” I hope it’s a fucking sick bag.

He actually thought he could get a book traditionally published Before “ultimately deciding” to self publish. Or in plain English being rejected so it was the only option.

 

[GSquaredUWS]

Just sat at work doing some online equality, diversity and inclusion training and Adams job advert for a marketing person definitely broke the rules. You shouldn't mention age full stop in a job advert

Initially Adam typed ''young, white, single, slim, attractive gay man, preferably with American citizenship, bonus available if you look like Flynn Ryder'' Then he thought, I went too far so young person, white, single, slim, attractive gay man, preferably with American citizenship, bonus availoable if you look like Flynn Ryder

In the latest vlog he says he sent it off for proof reading but when it came back with all the grammar corrections he decided to reject some of them because he thought his version made the writing ”flow better”. He doesn’t like too many commas, or the rules around when they’re required and he won’t have hyphens because he doesn’t like “hyphenisation”. He went on some diatribe how his entire family are dyslexic and he considers hyphens to be difficult for dyslexic people to understand. Translation: “I know better than the proof reader”.

Doesn't this just sum him up completely.

If he has really ignored a qualified and experienced proof reader and sent it to print then he is an idiot. You don't get to pick and choose what grammar and spelling you do and don't like Adam

What kind of psychopath orders a well-done steak that cost $300.

We’ll just declare this the latest crime Adam should pay for.

 

[Mark81]

Someone needs to tell him that every line of dialogue doesn't need a 'he said' or similar. You can just write the dialogue

 

[Mark81]

I still can’t get over the fact that he asked them to guess how much it cost, wonder if was secretly hoping they’d say they would pay.

I think he just thinks stuff like that impresses people

 

[Tabitha]

My version of hell is listening to Adam’s laugh, speeded up for eternity

 

[Geetbo]

I think he’s over ordered.

In fairness, all authors writing children and young lit will be adults.

But you also have to be responsible in how you write and portray those events

Yep I don’t read YA but I have heard authors interviewee on podcasts and I’ve yet to hear any author giggling and winking about the “spice” in their book when the characters are so young. They’re usually a bit painful because they talk about finding the balance of being realistic without scaring their audience and bringing in consent without making it finger wagging. Which is understandable. Adam’s problem is that we all know the character is him and we know he squeals at the face characters like a tween girl and we know any spice is very much current Adam him fantasising about the teenage character because in his mind he is still a teenager.

The way he talks about it is inappropriate but then so is whistling and whooping at face characters and so are his slut bracelets. He sees himself as a teenager but he is walking around as a burly bearded man who looks mid 30s so people won’t consider any of his behaviour “cute”. Putting on an ill fitting brown/orange combo that made him look like an extra in The Mary Tyler Moore Show ages him even further and makes him creepier to a teen audience.

In the words of Shania Twain - “that don‘t impress me much” (or at all)
