I could devote some time to shitting on SE Hinton but honestly like there's only so many white ladies with typewriters you can dedicate your life to warring against

I'm quite charmed by her not knowing or giving a fuck about comic books frankly, and there's precious little I love more than comic books.

Forgive me if there's some other actually terrible thing she's said outside of that.

oh, she's said some homophobic and transphobic stuff but honestly she's an old racist lady so like what difference does it make

It was a weird thing where she reacted bizarrely strongly to someone talking about the fan headcanon that Johnny and Dallas are gayhttps://www.latimes.com/books/jacketcopy/la-et-jc-outsiders-gay-20161019-snap-story.html …

It's honestly a lot harder to respect Hinton once you've read THAT WAS THEN, THIS IS NOW, the sequel to OUTSIDERS where she decides to dive into racial issues and doesn't necessarily do so well at it

Much like with Harry Potter, I'm very comfortable nowadays saying re: The Outsiders that it's fine to skip the book and watch the movie

I dunno, still quite an incredible and enigmatic (even accidentally) thing for a young person to write. I couldn't get into HP as a kid/teen but I LOVED the outsiders.
