This is one of the reasons why I don't even bother submitting to magazines websites. Everything is so tiresomely woke. Hollywood is suffering a decline in movie attendance, probably for a number of reasons but maybe, bigly, everythign they produce sucks??? Everything's so damn woke and preachy. It's like Christian entertainment hell, except it's the woke preaching at us and not the Bible-thumpers. You can't even make a joke without some tight-assed WokePuritan shitting a diamond in response. Maybe there are enough people reading their magazines or subscribing to their websites to support it for now, but wokeness seems to be in slow decline so maybe eventually they'll have to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the now-least-heard-from voices of all: White, fe/male, cis-het.
Really not everyone. The problem was more pronounced during black history month, when a number of magazines made it clear only writers of color need apply. There are still magazines out there that refrain from setting requirements about the ethnicity of writers. But persistent notions about who is qualified to write about whom persist: a man can't write a novel from the perspective of a woman? A white person must "stay in her own lane" and never write about the feelings of a black person? Balderdash!
Well then, everyone else must stay in their own lane and not write about anyone else. And since publishing is still dominated by white people, it'll be white stories about white people doing white things in white places and having lots and lots of white fun ;/
