Can a story be bad if it's socially progressive?
Sure.
Just like a story can be bad if it's not socially progressive.
That doesn't denounce the quality of the story.
What the fuck kinda question is this?

But if an author has furthered the presence of minorities in their work (either by being one or having them as characters) is it fair to evaluate their work the same way as anyone else?

If the book is shit then there's a much higher chance nobody will give a fuck about it and it does nothing for no one. Case in point: tumblr fanfiction that makes some character trans or attracted to sea urchins.

yes

Stories do not exist in a vacuum, they influence the culture and the culture influences them. If a socially progressive story is told then society has been improved. Something which changes society for the better is always good.

Because not making a society a terrible place for women and non-white men is so terrible, right?

It's probably bad if it's socially progressive.

Neck yourself, nigger.

>progressive
It's kinda conceded for a movement to even be called as such, it implies that that is the best course for our society to take.
Those stories don't even exist. We can't know the future and what is deemed "progression" is subjective.
>>7722327
"socially progressive" is a vague term that does not per se "furthering the agenda of progressivism"
There is no such thing as 'progressive' per se, as there is no such entity as 'the right side of history.' Postmodernism yay
>>7722521
it's 'conceited'
Obviously yes if you factor in what socially progressive even means today.
Yes
Just like when a book can contain good ideas and still be written badly
>>7720891
SJW and rbooks actually believe this.
>>7722337
>not making a society a terrible place for women and non-white men
is that what you really think "progressives" are doing?
>>7720891
is it a book where all the women sleep around and cheat on their husbands because theyre le progressive? are all the caracters a minority mary sue, transgender, gay lgbt et cetera just for the sake of having a minority character? Or does the story actually say something about the culture and social progression.
>>7722337
As a non-white man I disapprove of your piece of shit ideology.
>>7720917
Well, there isn't one ultimate criterium for judging books. It can be bad qualities and good qualities at the same time, but some criteria are better than others.
This is an obvious false flag troll. I am shocked nobody bothered to point this out. It isn't even funny, how could you post on this fucking stupid thread?
