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?
Can you provide an example?
OP recently posted under a different name about some book or author being problematic. House on the Cerulean Sea or something. Anyway, everyone was just like, this doesn’t feel like much of a story or a big deal, just read what you want. Idk if people got mean, I just saw a bunch of people who came here to talk about books rather than try to find politically correct causes to twist our panties.
