Sailor Moonton bro there are no cool black brown/black people but the navy of wheel of time they are pretty amazing but u dont even know the Atha'an Miere as well as the stabbing husbands nation which is also fully black/brown people and this is teh first time you hear ebou dar as well as athan miere amirite ? is what i think but turning the first incarnation into a black man and the rebirth to a white man is exceptional trolling.

I have recently been challenged for using the term bookcloak, so let me take a moment to explain why I stand by it. The label is not a random insult but a descriptive term for a very particular pattern of behaviour in the fandom. In fact, I have even seen people in this very group proudly adopt the name themselves, and yes, I have the screenshots to prove it if anyone is still in doubt.
Some argue the term is unfair, but I must respectfully disagree. Bookcloak is one of the most book-appropriate names for this sort of behaviour. Any objective reader can see why it fits: it is apt, pointed, and almost poetic in its accuracy.
Consider the conduct we see so often. These self-styled โ€œdefenders of authenticityโ€ do far more than simply love the books. They pick fights, belittle fans who genuinely enjoy the show, and try to invalidate the joy others find in it. They do not simply defend the source material; they patrol conversations, police enthusiasm, and sneer at anyone who dares to appreciate the adaptation on its own terms. Tell me, what could be more bookcloaky than that?
And here is the irony: I was not even the one who coined the term. Plenty of your compatriots have worn it proudly themselves. So, please, do not waste your energy picking a fight with me. ๐Ÿ˜‚
The deeper reason the name works, however, is that bookcloaks behave very much like the Whitecloaks in The Wheel of Time.
1) Self-righteousness: Whitecloaks think they alone define the Light. Bookcloaks think they alone define โ€œauthenticity.โ€
Gatekeeping: Whitecloaks police beliefs. Bookcloaks police fan joy.
2) Intolerance of joy: Whitecloaks cannot stand others living freely. Bookcloaks cannot stand others enjoying the show.
Hypocrisy: Whitecloaks claim to serve justice but often act unjustly. Bookcloaks claim to โ€œprotect the booksโ€ while spreading toxicity.
3) Authoritarian streak: Whitecloaks want to control thought and behaviour. Bookcloaks want to control how everyone responds to the series.
So no, the label is not random. Robert Jordan gave us the perfect metaphor. The Whitecloaks in the books are rigid, joyless, and convinced only their way is the right way. When fans behave in exactly that fashion, the title bookcloak is not only appropriate, it is earned.
That is why I use it, and that is why I will continue to do so.
