ok addressing this rn bc i rlly don’t think we need to dwell on it further. i used to be tl friends w van and we’d interact sometimes but the stuff he said abt radish’s writing was absolutely horrible and so entitled. also the fact that he defended ava who did some pretty unsavory stuff is just a huge ick.

that being said there’s nothing wrong w having an opinion abt characterization or someone’s writing. however putting it in a public place and also analyzing their works to pick at them is just horribly rude. especially as writers, we should not be doing that to each other.
