This sub has become a hub for SJM hate

What used to be space for fun and light hearted discussion and differences in opinion has just become a magnet for straight essays on what SJM could have done better, why her writing sucks, why she doesn’t care about women, SA or trauma survivors, and or her personal agenda. The amount of times I’ve seen “I’d rather this than anything SJM actually gave us gets higher and higher every day.

If you hate it so much, why are you still here? These are fictional books about fae and other fake creatures living in a fake world. Their rules and laws and how they live and treat their women and their friends do not apply to us! Reading used to be a fun a way to escape! And using this sub used to be fun as well, having intellectual discussions on why a character did this or the lore between Theia and how it may related to Crescent City. Now all I see when I open the sub is “The problem with Rhys, The problem with Feyre, The problem with Cassian, The problem with the IC, The problem with SJM, The problem with ACOTAR”.

If everyone hates these books so much why post about it so much? Just leave the sub. Not everyone needs to hear all the negativity all the time. Some of us actually enjoy the series and use it as a fun escape from the horrors persisting outside in the real world. Some of us are tired and just want to enjoy a fun story. That’s all.

Update: To clarify hate = negativity.

I know everyone is different and no one will react the same, of course. No once did I say they shouldn’t, and I never once said people shouldn’t have disagreements or discussions, criticisms or discourse. This is what I went to school for it’s my life actually. However, what I was trying to say is there is a point when you write a post, and it says the characters all suck, the author sucks, the world building sucks, the ending sucks…. Then what is the point? It’s all negative? And there is more and more of that. So why does it all suck? Just because? And there is a way to say that all without completely shitting on an entire series. At least I think so. No, I never said not to post and I never said things need to be positive and perfect so for those of you saying that get real.

With all that said I can’t wait for whatever comes next. I wanna do a deep dive reread to try and pay attention to all the lore- the Dread Trove/ Queen Theia- how it may or may not connect to CC etc. I’d love to discuss those theories. I know there are some incredibly smart people in this sub who probably have all this stuff mapped and sorted.

Anyways- This is just one persons opinion. Feel free to discuss.
