Simple answer to the above question: has Meyer said anything that's ostensibly offended trans women (and so-called activists) specifically lately?
I think it's far more dangerous to fantasize about domestic violence and self-harm in a book that is read by pre-teen girls with no word of critique inside it than say something as a private person in a platform that is
open to critique. The latter allows people to publicly react into what they think is wrong, thus providing a more fruitful approach, probably also offering people more viewpoints (as in "Hey, I never actually thought it
this way"), while as a print in a book there's a greater chance it'll be taken for granted, letting it sink in without a second thought. That's where the logic is missing, IMO. Canceling someone's works simply causes people to hide with their opinions, while
discussing with them would be actually valuable.
On the other hand: also I think it's just odd to reflect a private person's actions to their works of art. Disagreeing with the person themself, however, is a different thing, and correctly targeted IMO. As would be simply unliking the person. But that's a different thing from the above, and of course more sensitive one. I'm all open for education in that, though. Via PM, if you think it's, erm, a red zone to be discussed anywhere else.
