Yall, I am fed up with the RY hate
I don't see it much on this sub (which I am thankful for!) but I am really starting to get upset at all of the hate towards RY in the recent release of the Target Edition of OS.
People accusing her of "blatant cash grabs" and not "caring about the rest of the world" from this new edition when it's not really the authors decision is getting ridiculous. I am not claiming that RY is a perfect author, but please stop blaming her for things that are not her fault. She is a real person, with real feelings, and A FAMILY. I am fearful that others in this fandom may run her into the ground.
ALSO. I am sorry. But this is a part of life. Things are unfair. You don't always get what you want, and sometimes, you pre-order a book and newer "slightly better" one comes out later. As an avid reader for majority of my life, this has happened a lot. I buy a book, and then see later they release an edition with a different cover I like more. It sucks, but it's not the end of the world, NOR does it ruin my reading experience or enjoyment of the story.
okay. sorry needed to get that off my chest. rant over :)

Edit 2: YALL. THIS COMMENT SECTION IS INCREDIBLE!! I seriously love this sub so much for THIS positivity and our collective respect and love for RY!! And thank you MODS for fostering such an environment! I look forward to suffering with you all while we read OS 😂
