More Parody

After Amazon removed the Scalzi-rape-parody book yesterday, the authors revised the title and re-posted it as John Scalzi Banned This Book But He Can Never Ban My Burning Love: A Pretty, Pretty Girl Dreams of Her Beloved While Pondering Gender Identity, Social Justice, and Body Dysmorphia.

The blurb is as offensive as the title, which is to say "only a little" as it more juvenile than truly offensive:
A blazingly inventive parody that was banned by John Scalzi, despite Ms. Eren being a huge Scalzi fan and an unemployed transgendered up-and-coming romance author who needed the money so xe could one day buy xerself a big, beautiful lawn of xer own. Soon to be nominated for the Hugo, don't miss the story of a love so bold it broke the Internet!
Not to be outdone, some other wag has posted a similar parody entitled SJWs Never Lie: Censorship is Tolerance! Freedom is Slavery! Ignorance is Strength! The authors are listed as Brianna Scalzi, George R.R. Moretons, and Sam Piddle, with a foreword by Toadessa Nielsen Haten and an afterword by Ritaskeeter Sarkeesian.

All pretty juvenile stuff, but to be expected after Scalzi had Amazon remove the first parody.
