From above: "It's something everyone can be nasty about while patting themselves on the back about how awesome they are for being nasty."

This is totally true, whether people want to admit it or not. I am FULLY AWARE that there are a million legitimate reasons to hate CC. But people regularly say they lose respect for people for NOT hating her, and also aggressively question how writers who DON'T have her reputation could possibly be friends with her. This is creepily excessive and is not something you can brush off by listing all her internet-wrongs, because it's putting hatred overflow onto the innocent people around her. This is not just hating her, it's putting a big radius around her and judging anyone who steps into it.

Adding to that, this opinion is ridiculously widespread. Someone makes a secret about judging their friends for liking CC, and the comments are all just hating CC. They don't address the content of the secret, it's just an excuse to hate on her again.

The few people who respond to the actual content of the secret, when there are comments to them, are just about CC again. Like people think you don't know enough about CC if you dare to suggest that people shouldn't lose respect for their friends over the media they like.

This secret doesn't need to be a secret, because fandom in general hates CC SO MUCH that apparently it's totally acceptable and not even noteworthy to dismiss your friends' taste if they don't hate her too.

FUCKING AGREED

seriously...this is why I see the internet as an "echoing chamber of hate" sometimes.

Like I know she did bad shit but...does anybody seriously think they're better than others because of their hate?

"I'm better than you because I have a hatred of this woman and I WILL NOT LET GO." "....really? Really?"

Yeah, that's totally fair. I still hold a hell of a grudge because I felt so personally betrayed as a young "Draco Trilogy" reader when the plagiarism stuff came out, and plagiarism in general makes me feel stabby, and then the cyberbullying and just... blech. But I'm not gonna knock my friends who DON'T KNOW THOSE THINGS for enjoying Mortal Instruments. And even the ones who do know... well, I'm sure I like/have paid for things that went to other horrible human beings, whether I know it or not, so it seems really unfair to judge anyone by that.

Ditto people who now work with her professionally; it's entirely possible they aren't in the know or are willing to believe she's changed or *just don't care* because XYZ (such as putting more faith in someone you've actually met and liked than the word of strangers on the internet), and that doesn't automatically reflect poorly on them. So I'm totally fine with holding my grudge against CC, but extending that grudge to people who work with her or enjoy her work is ridiculous.
