ka-shame shame naman talaga, being a jsl is an embarrassment in itself
the bar is so low that simply mentioning corruption, politics, & human trafficking in a romance novel is enough to have people calling it socially conscious writing 😭 y’all love her being politically detached until it’s time to defend her writing lmfaooo
u can’t selectively present the newer version of her writing as proof of growth while expecting ppl to disregard the problematic material that REMAINS accessible & profitable. keeping those books in circulation for the sake of profit is still a decision shes ACTIVELY making today
people outside your echo chamber (subtwt) have been expressing their criticisms this entire time but you’d rather call them dumb or question if they even read her works than actually engage with them, tapos kami pa ang kailangang maging considerate of other perspectives ? 😕
there’s something esp distasteful about making misogyny the centerpiece of ur defense when the original issue remains unaddressed lmao it’s almost like dismissing everyone as a misogynist is easier than confronting an argument u have no idea how to defend
