This is to let people know which authors are problematic so that they know which books to buy second hand, ect. You can either write about an author that you know is problematic, or you can give an example of an author and someone will respond with if they are problematic or not.

Here is some I was wondering about: Rick Riordan
Sarah J Maas
Leigh Bardugo
Holly Black
Here's some that I'm aware of:J.K. Rowling/Robert Galbraith: She's extremely transphobic (https://www.glamour.com/story/a-compl...)
James Dashner: Sexually harassed women (https://www.theguardian.com/books/201...)
Lauren Myracle: There was a virtual book convention where she talked over authors of color and queer authors and said that white males need representation (https://twitter.com/davidobowles/stat...)
Meredith Russo: She was abusive to her ex-wife (https://thepostmillennial.com/a-bests...)
rick riordan:i havent heard about him doing anything problematic but then again some things in his books are messed up. like frank is 16-18 and hazel is literally 13-14 and they date. also:
HOUSE OF HADES SPOILER ALERT
the way he made nico come out on house of hades was pretty messed up and disturbed me
sarah j maas:
i havwnt heard of her doing anything problematic either but acotar lacks representation
so idk if y’all watched s&b on netflix but it just came to light on twitter mostly that they hired a white stunt double for amita AND PAINTED HER BROWN. people are calling out eric and leigh for answers since they were both executive producers on the show
WOOOOOWWW I LITERALLY JUST WENT TO CHECK THEIR TWITTER AND THE INTERN DELETED THE TWEET THEY POSTED LIKE 2 MIN AGO BC PEOPLE WERE COMMENTING ABOUT THE AMITA ATUNT DOUBLE ISSUE. (amita has done nothing wrong. hollywood doesn’t treat people of color fairly and as this was amitas first big job i think she didn’t feel that she could speak out against it without being at risk for being fired.)
That's horrible! I feel so bad for Amita. I will be looking into this to see if I can find out who decided to do that.

Hey guys, just something I heard about the Amita Suman stunt double issue. Leigh Bardugo went on Instagram live and explained that she had no idea that this happened until she saw the photos. She also apologized and said that if there is a Season 2 she will fix this and she understands if you leave the fandom because of this.
so i know that sjm has like romaticized r*pe, or s*xual assult, or something along those lines. i dont read/ keep up with her but i have heard of things like this. it may be wrong though
