The Vanishing White Male Writer
Compact Magazine ^ | 3/21/25 | Jacob Savage

Posted on 03/22/2025 1:24:44 PM PDT by Ge0ffrey

It's easy enough to trace the decline of young white men in American letters—just browse The New York Times’s “Notable Fiction” list. In 2012 the Times included seven white American men under the age of 43 (the cut-off for a millennial today); in 2013 there were six, in 2014 there were six.

And then the doors shut.

By 2021, there was not one white male millennial on the “Notable Fiction” list. There were none again in 2022, and just one apiece in 2023 and 2024 (since 2021, just 2 of 72 millennials featured were white American men). There were no white male millennials featured in Vulture’s 2024 year-end fiction list, none in Vanity Fair’s, none in The Atlantic’s. Esquire, a magazine ostensibly geared towards male millennials, has featured 53 millennial fiction writers on its year-end book lists since 2020. Only one was a white American man.

They are marginalizing Americans in their own country. Our heritage is being stolen from us.

Modern American men neither read nor write; they play video games. Period.

It’s tough to have to compete with the likes of Maya Angelou.

Many of these white make liberals are ok with this discrimination, seeing it as just compensation for history as they understand it.

Why would young white men write when they know they are fighting a wall of censorship with woke publishers?

Their time is better spent elsewhere.

Sadly, you may be right.

From what I've been reading they don't date much either. Pornhub is enough, apparently.

The younger set (under 50) is becoming more and more isolated from one another. Politically, women are going leftward and men are going rightward ... becoming more isolated from one another.

This is odd. I was just noticing this the other day. White men who certainly were well represented on the booklists through the 20th century are not visible.. first things reviews many books written by white as well as other color men.. however these are specific books in religion history or philosophy.

Booklist and best sellers. Rare.

Librarians, a leftist feminist cabal if there ever was one...
Purchase the books on your tax dollar. And when you peruse new arrivals you will see almost exclusively leftist and female writers.

And the collections have been pared down to rarely books older than 15 20 years.

Publishing is part of USSA deep state’s “state run media.”

The White Male Writer is online, and what they previously had to put to paper they can now speak directly to their audience.

“Politically, women are going leftward “
Guess where they end up?
Old and alone.
Other than sex, No guy want to mess
with nutcases like them.
I’m an old guy, Libertarian.
I have more kids, and animals running around
than I can keep up with.

Who made the right choice, Leftist woman,
or a Man that values life.

The straight white male editors and publishers disappeared first, but no one noticed or complained.
