discussion made difficult bc the critics in these cases are generally people who haven’t read the book and are just upset by what they imagine it contains, even though the word “readers” as used here would ordinarily imply the opposite pic.twitter.com/uHemDj7BZk

When readers (who haven’t actually read the work 99% of the time) tell you something is flawed, here is the proper response: “Fuck you. Read something else then. Get the fuck out of here and I hope the door hits you on the ass on the way out and you fall on your stupid fucking clown face.”
Never explain, never apologize. Just do.
