>God, what kind of a horrible person would take up such a job.

Take a job as an editor? That is all this person is doing. It is something that publishers have done forever except this editor has a more narrow scope of what they are editing.

It doesn’t sound like those “sensitivity readers” are editors, more like some weaponized Twitter outrage mob.

I get that the publishers want to preemptively strike down / appease those outragers, but Jesus Christ, to like reading and to become a full-time “holier than thought”-er. This is so depressing
