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?
Welcome to the internet, where negativity is amplified to promote engagement. Look! It worked on you!
Fair point!
