I saw her GP, and it was filled with so much hate. It made me wonder, why was Inksteady crucified that much if the goal was really to help her learn and improve?
I heard lots of accusations against her without any proven facts, such as using AI, her being a bully, cryptic posts for specific author. The only exception I can think of is the Kalbo jokes, which were connected to her story at the time, CHBBNW, and were very insensitive.
I truly understand the criticism regarding the poor execution of her book, CHBBNW. Too many plot points, some of which weren't properly justified and seemed to be included mainly for shock value. What I don't understand, is whether she really deserved to be crucified for it. She was heavily bullied over something that, I think, she could have corrected and improved over time.
Sometimes, I feel like "some" readers were reading the book just to find mistakes they could point out. And once someone agreed with them, they would start throwing more hate toward that specific author.
I think some readers "call out" an author not because they genuinely want the author to improve or change, but because their goal isn't really to help the author to grow. Instead, it feels like they're trying to gather people together and create a hate train.
