Why is it that when some people are calling out an author for being problematic with actual #facts (as my cousin likes to say) or theyre just stating that they dislike a book on any platform people immediately go on the attack? Is it so difficult for someone to just agree to disagree and move on with their day? Now I understand that people are going to come in here and say don’t post your opinion on the internet if you can’t handle the blowback. But that’s no excuse to be a shitty human and bully people or be unkind. So tell me how do you personally feel when people behave like this? Does it make you not want to be a part of this community anymore and just keep to yourself about what you’re reading, not reading, and what you’ve read?
A lot of times (whether intended by the poster or not), people read those sorts of posts as “I don’t like this book because this author is problematic and you’re problematic too for enjoying their work.”
True I would never consider someone problematic for reading what ever they want that’s totally there choice :) I just personally wouldn’t read that book but I won’t blame them of they do
