Yeah looking back on that I seriously cringe lol. But let's be honest, that's the exact kind of bullshit any of us would pull when faced with those frothing lunatics. She's learned better than to indulge them.

I'm a more quiet and private person so I don't know what it's like to be the richest and most famous author of her era. From my perspective I just wouldn't engage with these questions in the first place. If she felt like she had to respond I guess it's understandable that she would lean into her fan's delusions but I think a written work should speak for itself without needing further input from the author to make it "more correct" for trendy sensibilities.
