Ask HN: Would this idea combat the negative portrayal of men in thriller novels?
As most readers of thriller novels are women, it's not a surprise that thrillers portraying men as violent criminals tend to make more money.

Instead of trying to get men to read more thriller novels, it would probably be easier — and more effective — to simply ask them to donate large sums of money to authors and publishers who release more balanced thriller novels.

Do you think this idea would work?
