Kinda off topic, but in my experience, whenever somone critiques or gives valid criticism to an author, (especially if they're famous) their stans always jump out of the woodwork and bash them endlessly.

For example, a few weeks ago one of my friends made a calm rational post about how she wishes JK Rowling could of done better with the lgbt representation in her Potter books.
Que a crapton of JK stans appearing out of nowhere and spitting venom about how my friend needs to stop, "forcing her ideas on Rowling" and needs to, "stop bullying JK and leave her alone" and my favorite, "you have no right to criticize a famous author because you're probably a shitty one yourself!"
Lmao seriously. And this hasn't even been the first time I've seen something like this.

When people complain about "not being able to tell someone their writing crap." They're probably not just referring to the author. Hardcore book fans can be pretty nasty if someone questions or critiques one of their faves imo.

I don't doubt that famous authors have their stans, but the original comment was talking specifically about fanfic writers. I know BNFs have their stans as well, but in general you're not going to see a whole lot of public concrit for fanfic writers, so you're not going to see anywhere near as much backlash.
