The backlash to her seems to mostly be on Twitter, oddly enough. Folks in the Twitter thread were pointing out how it’s just on Twitter and that she’s a favorite on Reddit.

So, another one of those "author mistakes twitter for real life" articles?

I see it more as different fan spaces have different vibes. It’s not any different from if someone was a favorite on tumblr but despised on Reddit.

I wonder how many of those criticisms have a blue checkmark next to them.

I bet almost all of them are adorned with the blue badge of self-fragility.

Because she’s just as argumentative as your average Redditor and thinks she’s infallible just like your average redditor lol
