    The books definitely have many problematic elements, but IMO they’re still good. But separating the art from the artist is really fucking hard when that artist is right now a prominent political activist with (some) actual sway with her national government, and she’s also still earning money and producing new content based on that book series. And it’s not even like the books are completely unpolitical, the plot features governments, fascist takeovers and resistance fighters - it’s very apparent that she has opinions on these kinds of things and probably genuinely thinks that she’s one of the good guys, despite so clearly working against her stated cause of women’s rights and supporting straight-up fascists.
