    This reads like someone cherry picking moments to prove their point. Having actually read most of the series I didn’t feel like the author was singling out disabled or women, so much as equally shitting on everybody. Carl’s father for instance is a far bigger stereotypical piece of shit deadbeat Dad than his GF was a stereotypical manipulative cheater. Carl was also greatly disturbed by the killing of the hoarder woman and is still referencing how fucked up it is into the seventh book.

    Overall the writing isn’t amazing, and it’s trying to be entertaining more than send any messages or change any minds or opinions. You’re reading way too deep into what’s supposed to be easily consumed entertainment.
