#the whole 'you should promote better books if you dislike t0g!!1!' argument is not the best

[battlestar-royco]

well and good:

loving sjm’s books

loving sjm’s books despite/in acknowledgement of their flaws

loving sjm’s books in your own fandom space

identifying with the characters in sjm’s books

requesting that antis stay out of fan tags if their post is tagged incorrectly

bad:

loving sjm’s books and refusing to acknowledge their flaws

attacking people who want to discuss said flaws

attacking people who have been hurt by the books with reductive, hollow arguments

expecting sjm’s representation to work well for everyone

invading spaces meant for critique of the books

reducing everyone who criticizes the books to “bullies” and “haters”

#anti sjm #anti sjm fandom #the whole 'you should promote better books if you dislike t0g!!1!' argument is not the best #because if we don't acknowledge the flaws in current books how will future writers know how to improve??? #how will readers know that the books are incredibly problematic? #and nothing is ever unproblematic! #also the stan just COMPLETELY ignored the fact that all antis have promoted other books and shows they find better than sjm's scheisse
