This it's nothing new in writing for people to try to cancel your books either. Happened to the earliest novels. Think it happened to Jane Austen. Happened to L. Frank Baum with the Wizard of Oz books cause of accusations of witchcraft. Happened again to JK Rowling with the Harry Potter books. JK Rowling got canceled again because of the trans issue.

It's nothing new. Almost nothing written that stands the test of time gets there by caring what the reader or society at large will think about it. Eventually everyone gets sick about the people complaining about dumbass unimportant shit and their complaints become impotent.

We see this time and time again. JK Rowling got her shit removed from a bunch of libraries because a bunch of Christian women had a Satanic panic moment and thought the mangled pig Latin spells in the book would actually summon real demons. That's a sign your fantasy book is a hit if people think it's real.

Again nothing new happened in the early 1900's with the Wizard of Oz books. Hell the second book even had a plot where the male main character was actually secretly the princess and had a "sex change" at the end.
