sj/m gets criticism on both her behavior and her books. And stans still managed to say its bc of misogyny (ironic much). Dont they see the pattern? Like do they seriously believe that everyone decided to just pick on sarah bc she’s a woman. Can’t they use a bit of logic and see that if so many ppl speak up about her and how bad her books are then maybe.... it might be true ?

I’ve seen stans say that anti pick on sarah bc she’s a famous woman. That of she was a man they would leave her alone. But i dont know that many famous men YA writers sooo. And even then like, the books just suck ya know ? Idk i feel like they’re reaching at this point.

Lumping these two together because they’re really similar and they came at about the same time.

Nothing infuriates me more than people reducing constructive criticism to something like discrimination. INTERSECTIONALITY IS A THING FFS. In fandom, white women actors and writers often get a pass for the problematic shit they do and get praised for doing the ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM. I’m sure you’ve all seen those posts of Natalie Portman or Jennifer Lawrence or Scarlett Johansson or whoever the fuck conventionally attractive white actress smirking at a camera and being praised for being a feminist by literally not even saying anything, just smirking, at a sexist comment that someone made against them!!! Then those same actors will turn around and participate in whitewashing or cultural appropriation or some mess. Meanwhile, actors and writers of color never get as much support from fans and they have to deal with all the combined racist and sexist trolls (like Kelly Marie Tran, Viola Davis, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, and so many more) all while actively calling out discrimination and trying to be role models for their fans. Then when POC/queer fans call out white women, all their white women fans come out of the woodwork to back her up on the basis that the rest of us are all sexist. The same dynamic is happening here with SJ/M: queer fans, disabled fans, and fans of color calling her out for the unacceptable and harmful stuff she puts in her books, and then stans coming at us and saying we’re sexist. No. Also, holy fuck I just LOVE how stans conveniently and repeatedly refuse to acknowledge the fact that while most SJ/M antis focus their blog on SJ/M content, almost all of us have extensive criticism of other writers and fandoms (many of them men/dominated by men), and praise other women in YA constantly. We specifically focus on SJ/M not because she is a woman but because she is the only major YA author who has consistently degraded in writing quality, diversity, and fan treatment throughout her career.

While YES OF COURSE SJ/M gets some incredibly misogynistic criticism (like, when the Q0S TV show announcement came out, a lot of male G0T fans were trolling in the comments making fun of the way she looks and how T0G is just a watered-down “girly” version of G0T), it’s not from antis. Reducing her books to a “girly” or “inferior” series because she is a woman, holding her worldbuilding and plotting to a higher standard because she is a woman, and saying the books are stupid because they have a majority feminine audience would be sexist. Additionally, the sexism lauded at SJ/M throughout her career absolutely does not cancel out the harmful shit she puts in her books! SJ/M antis (at least in my circles) do not criticize SJ/M as a woman. We criticize her work and the themes of abuse, racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, and more that can be found within her writing. Calling out a white, cishet, privileged woman for the discrimination she puts in her books is NOT sexist. We are under no obligation to support white women who actively contribute to our discrimination.
