I’ve seen people talk about actors and artists that had a terrible time.

My own would be Anne Rice. She wrote Interview with the Vampire after her young daughter died of Leukemia. Then her husband suddenly died of a brain hemorrhage. I suspect her Christian, anti-fanfic phase was a result of mental illness and manipulation from the publishers, although I don’t think she ever apologized.

    If people hadn’t attacked her the way they did, she probably wouldn’t have been radicalized.

    She was already radicalized pretty far when she threw out the essay and justifiably got called out for it. You don’t support Maya Forstater and her desire to create a toxic work environment if you’re not already a good chunk down the radicalization pipeline.
