Worried about censorship? ⛔️As a writer, you SHOULD be ⚠️Yet too often writers are concentrating on the WRONG targets 🙈Writers will cite Twitter, sensitivity reads or so-called 'cancel culture' as a cause for concern when it comes to censorship ... Yet are TOTALLY UNAWARE of literal book bans like these going on 😱It's no accident writing by black and queer writers is under attack right now. Right wingers are using laws under the guise of 'protecting' kids to STOP them reading works by marginalised creators or books with marginalised characters in 🤬So don't fall for the culture wars online. Literally no one in the online sphere is going to stop you writing ANYTHING.Even if Twitter gets in a mood with you?? They CAN'T take your writing away 📚📺🎬But there ARE politicians in the real world out there who are trying to censor and outright ban works they deem 'unfit' for kids 🙄 Time to get real and support marginalised creatives and characters wherever possible. Don't stand for censorship!! 🪧For more on this topic, check out this case study from B2W 👇bang2write.com/2021/06/10-arguments-against-content-warnings-and-why-theyre-wrong.html 🔗 ...

Another #B2Wreviews ✅️Yeah, BULLET TRAIN is dumb AF ... yet also joyful 😆So Brad Pitt has to steal a briefcase from some guy on the bullet train. Obviously it doesn't go according to plan: there's 2 assassins on board, plus another gets on for some reason and then dies. Plus there's a psycho schoolgirl with the usual daddy issues who's blackmailing someone for [REASONS]. Oh and there's a poisonous snake doing the rounds and I don't even know why but obviously at the worst possible point it will make an appearance and chomp on someone. Because, OBVIOUSLY. 😆😆😆Make no mistake: this is a VERY stupid movie. But it doesn't pretend to be clever, which is a plus in an era where every other action movie is seemingly up its own arse. The director is David Leitch, so ofc the action sequences are AWESOME and the scriptwriter Zac Olkewicz is obviously channeling Guy Ritchie in his LOCK, STOCK phase so it's all very blokey, nonsensical high jinks. Plus the set ups and pay offs are solid & there are some diabolically funny cameos. So if you want a laugh, watch BULLET TRAIN. But if you want something serious, then give it a wide berth. ...
