From Sally Rooney\u2019s <em>Conversations With Friends<\/em> to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie\u2019s <em>Americanah<\/em> (\u201cif you don\u2019t own this book, you will be canceled\u201d), it\u2019s pretty accurate. Nothing about the selections is earth-shattering or surprising. Most importantly, the video isn\u2019t offensive! These are critically acclaimed books.  <\/p>\n<p>But that didn\u2019t stop another woman from doing what <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ears to be a parody of cannibalmilkshake\u2019s video. TikTok user @kel.drigo filmed a video about what \u201cstraight millennial men who make fun of women for reading diverse female authors own.\u201d The video includes David Foster Wallace and Philip Roth. There are several contradicting factors about this video, including the fact that kel.drigo would need to own (or borrow) these books herself to show them on camera. <\/p>\n<p>She also explains the late Roth as a \u201cJoan Didion for people who aren\u2019t secure enough in their masculinity to read Joan Didion\u201d\u2014a statement that makes zero sense since the authors don\u2019t really cover similar themes or topics. Notably, Roth was a fiction author who regularly set his stories in New Jersey. Didion also writes fiction but is perhaps best known for her nonfiction essays and writing about California. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-twitter wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cPhillip Roth is JOAN DIDION for people not secure in their masculinity to read Joan Didion\u201d is maybe the most accursed sentence of pure stupidity I\u2019ve heard in a while <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/3qYi4S4hNu\">pic.twitter.com\/3qYi4S4hNu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Iva Dixit (@ivadixit) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ivadixit\/status\/1313351508579229696?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 6, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Book <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> did not take well to kel.drigo\u2019s video, and it led to heated discussions about books on the platform on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>In response, kel.drigo posted <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@kel.drigo\/video\/6880531776591252742\">a new video<\/a> on TikTok calling out \u201chumorless blue-check media types\u201d for making fun of her \u201csatirical\u201d video.
