I was referring to the fact that the writing community is often elitist. For example, they might stop reading a comment that starts with a profanity. I, on the other hand, believe people have a valuable story to tell.

How many publishing contracts do you think get handed out to people who have been oppressed and exploited their whole lives? Stories are stolen from the people who lived them, sanitized, and the profit goes to the dominant community.
