n. a feeling of resonant connection with an author or artist you’ll never meet, who may have lived centuries ago and thousands of miles away but can still get inside your head and leave behind morsels of their experience, like the little piles of stones left by hikers that mark a hidden path through unfamiliar territory.

Does this include vlogger?

They’re just as sad and pathetic as One Direction, or Justin Bieber fans. Entirely blinded by their obsession with some guy just because they don’t know any better than they can’t even recognize when there are things wrong with him.

Newsflash for you, Nerdfighters. John Green is sexist. If you would like some concrete evidence, don’t worry. It’ll come.

Read book by women. Stop allowing men like John Green to act like father figures to teenage girls. Stop listening to his advice. He has no place giving it. He is a sexist. He is a misogynist. He is an ableist who thinks that just because someone has smart, they are better than someone who isn’t. 

Recognize your privilege, John Green. You’re just a man. Hah.

I would love to see some evidence. Because thus far, you’ve given none to back up your ridiculous expletive-filled claims.

I also really don’t see how you’re any more able or entitled to give advice. What credibility do you have? What makes you better than John?

And I should point out something that is glaringly obvious: books by women are not necessarily lacking in sexism, nor are books by men necessarily sexist. So your advice is pretty shit, to be frank.

I hope you recognise just how biast, strident and dogmatic you really are. You’re no better than anyone you criticise, so get off your high horse.

The moment you question or criticize John Green, people who claim to have been feminist or care about social justice issues throw up their hackles, because they don’t want to be forced to confront that things they like might actually be problematic. 

I wish his wife had had an abortion, because people like him shouldn’t be able to reproduce and continue allowing their sexism onto other generations. 

You have no moral standards whatsoever, do you? You actually think it’s okay to say that someone should have had an abortion. Whatever the hell your beliefs are, that kind of terrible personal attack is never reasonable.

I do hope you never decide to go into politics. Or any other kind of position where your opinion changes something. You have some incredibly skewed views of the world.

As for John Green, I’m struggling to understand why you’ve chosen him for your dogmatic tirade against the middle-aged white man. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of public figures that are much more sexist and more well known that you could have waged a war against.

You honestly baffle me.
