Let's be honest. The real truth is that people can't stand that someone "undeserving" gets to win the fanfic dream of being a poparlish pro-author with movie adaptations etc, without even being a very good writer. And people are attached subconsciously to the just world hypothesis, and so she must be torn down and punished and incessantly, useslessly revealed as a fraud.

Note that I put undeserving in quotes not because I think she deserves success (super doesn't) but because it's a really bad frame for thinking about the world, and success in such a random industry especially.

TLDR it makes perfect psychological sense that people can't let it go, and I mostly sympathize, but we're never actually going to ruin her success, so it would be healthier for all of us to just move on, imo.
