Nightmares from the Writers’ Group

It’s been a while since I’ve posted something about bad, crazy, or clueless writers but this one really got under my skin.
Let’s call the person Karen. Yes, I mean it in that context.
While this person can write, their style and subject matter is highly offensive to much of the group. I’ve even noticed certain people decide to remain absent when this person is presenting.
Why this person presents anything is a mystery to everyone because they don’t listen. Literally don’t listen and constantly interrupts so that they can explain (justify) their writing.
When writing a historical novel, writing the narration like the grown person has a two-year-old mentality just because they’re, and I quote, “Primitive People” is mind-blowing mad.
Our ancestors were not stupid. Every group had their own customs and culture. No one group was better than another. Morals change as do ideas and everything else. Were there wars? Yes, and the victor absorbed the loser, and sometimes the cultures mixed.
But colonialization destroyed a lot of things, including peoples’ way of life, leaving little or nothing for the next generations. Their history erased. Just because a modern person goes to an island and sees how people live and say, “They’re not living like me. They need help.” Doesn’t mean they want anyone’s so-called help. Everyone is different. People aren’t made with a cookie cutter.
The sins of the past will never be forgiven with people like this running around.
What’s more depressing is that so many people of European ancestry can get painted with the same brush of Eww out of association with people like this.
