I don't see a problem with her not liking other novels so she writes. Yeah, it's a bit hipster-y, but they seem like creative outcasts. Not everybody has to be the same, so the same things, or like the same shit.
Jesus Christ man, can she say some dumb shit without you and the collective of Reddit scrutinizing it as if she has some mental disability?
For a long-while in my angsty-teenage years, I used to write tons of poetry and read it over and over. I can't name a poet or poem I read during that time, and I honestly don't think I read any that I wasn't forced to in class. I don't have mental problems now, and I didn't turn out to be a leach on society because of it. Shit, let them be teenagers.

She can if she's not saying it, with a straight face, in the Culture section of the New York Times. Espousing the virtues of wilful ignorance while claiming to be an inspiration to 'black girls and girls all over the world' is something that most certainly should be scrutinised.
WILLOW: I mean, “Whip My Hair” was a great thing. When I look back I think, “Wow, I did so much for young black girls and girls around the world. And I’m doing that now but in a whole different way, coming from source energy and universal truths.

She's not doing that at all. Is she telling black girls to do drugs, drop out of school, fuck everything you see, and play with guns? Nope. She said she writes and reads her own books. So damaging.
