I tried GoodReads for a while, a couple years ago, but was put off by the increasing social-ness of it; I wasn't there to play at Facebook, I just wanted somewhere to store my reading history and maybe to create some lists I could point people (not necessarily those on GoodReads) at if they were interested in a particular trope or subgenre that I like.

Thankfully my few reviews never received any particular backlash, even the one(s) where I was pretty sharp about the complete failure of the female characters. But just seeing the positive reviews heaped upon one of those works was probably enough to make me deeply edgy about interacting with people there, honestly. It was clear that I was an almost-lone voice of concern in the midst of a whole bunch of people who saw nothing wrong with Rape As Plot Device, among other things, which is not an environment that screams "get involved here and try to make social connections like they keep urging you to!"

I'm so sorry that you had such a directly abhorrent interaction there! I hope Stupidface McAuthorfail will let the dead horse lie, at this point.

Back when I was growing disillusioned with GR, I did have a person or two rec me LibraryThing. I decided against investing the effort of starting over on a new site, but I did see it mentioned in the comments here so it might still be worth looking over!
