“There's a reason publishers exist. If they're good, they have enough experience to not be so myopic and tone-deaf.”

That’s a stretch. Publishing has been dominated predominantly by white men for a long time.

True, but I think any decent publishing house in 2018 would look at its lineup of authors and, upon finding it all-male, would go back to the drawing board. Stripe did not do that. They ran with it.
