JKR is transphobic? oh gosh I didn't know that, I did know that she didn't want to put LGBTQ+ characters in the main series because she didn't want to be judged

The more I think about Shannon, the more I wonder why I cyberstalk her and worship her. I shouldn't.


 * not great writing quality
 * grammar mistakes
 * no diversity
 * racism
 * sexism
 * CLAIMS HER BOOKS HAVE NO RACISM OR SEXISM
 * inconsistency
 * no LGBTQ+. because apparently only humans can be non-cishet since elves are "better than them".
 * hinted-at pedophilia. Both with Kelva (in book 1 which is total pedophilia) and Lylie is borderline (Wylie is 21 and Linh is 16!!!!)
 * matchmaking is disgusting, and her characters and readers know it BUT IT STILL HAPPENS
 * she wanted to make Sophie the "dorkiest dork" ever but decided that A) it wouldn't appeal to readers and B) GUESS WHAT IT'S UNREALISTIC
 * plays the victim when writing yet everything is her fault
