Just to add, it's genuinely unsettled me to the see the vitriol levelled at this woman who wrote a beloved series of books, who has given away hundreds of millions to charity, and who actively tried to help parents under lockdown by releasing a free story, encouraging kids to send their drawings to her, and consequently spends hours a day retweeting the pictures and writing lovely comments about them. How do you make her the bad guy?? Even if you disagree with her and believe her to be wrong on this, the people claiming to have had their childhood ruined clearly didn't take the message from her books about characters being nuanced, did they?
The abuse has upset me, so I can't imagine how it feels for her. I assume she knew to some extent what she was getting into but still. Fucking horrible.
