It's hard to say this without sounding like a bullshit gamergate idiot, but the worst thing about Tumblr is how they'll fixate on someone who's not even ideologically opposed to them or particularly bad, and just obsessively hate on them and believe everything negative said about them.
i've never read any of his books but it's sad to see something like this. i like when an author is approachable and answers fan questions, and it looks as though he's been driven out of a community he enjoyed because of assholes.
(FWIW i didn't think either of your posts sounded gamergatey)
There seems to be a strong "never trust anyone over 25/30/whatever" vibe to the complaints about John Green, as if he'd be more welcome if he was a teen or a young adult himself.
It has probably one of the best first six pages in literature, has a pretty good first thirty pages, and a mostly good first hundred pages.
Mostly, setup for what promises to be interesting and dramatic; and then the book loses all of its momentum and decides to have a 200 page camping trip. Also, instead of focusing on the inherent tragedy of the world-shattering event of most of the women in the world dying, it goes straight to haremville.
Featuring:
Deranged madman scientist (responsible for a plague that killed almost all the world's omen) pretending to be an Unsuspicious Molecular Biologist searching for the cure.
Mute Celtic Boy (somehow manages not to be awesome despite being a mute celtic boy. You dissappoint me, kid.)
Angry Ranting Terrorist complaining about the british and catholicism. Also, trying to get Deranged Madman Scientist to reveal himself to be Deranged Madman Scientist.
Catholic Priest trying to redeem the above men and look after the mute kid; somehow manages to be the least likable of all.
Yeah, you'd think this would be interesting. Trust me, it's not.

Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
I feel like, the original poster did okay. I mean, you should be able to talk shit about people in the general viscinity but more or less out of "earshot."
If someone wants to say about someone "this guy feels creepy," then okay, sure. They feel creeped out.
What you shouldn't do is the equivalent of shouting across the room and go; "HEY COME LISTEN TO THIS PERSON SAY YOU'RE CREEPY." Because that's crossing a line. That's the person you're talking shit about to get the shit in their faces, when the point of gossip is to do it behind people's backs, and sometimes, if they overhear, then good.
Because then the guy is going to go; "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT I DON'T FUCK KIDS OKAY," and since it made a big fuss, people are going to start taking sides.
Gossip is gossip. People are going to gossip. But you shouldn't tape record the gossip like it's an accusation.

Okay but there's gossip and there's "the worst part about john green is that hes a pedophile. how do i know he is? well, i dont like him. thats how." I think there's a bit of a difference in degrees, there.
and it’s always girls who feel misunderstood, you know, and he goes out of his way to make them feel important and desirable. which is fucking? weird?
wait, is this supposed to be a strike against John Green? like, I sort of get what's trying to be said here but the way it was said it's, like, how dare he make people think they're important and desirable, like, you'd rather he abuse him

frankly I'm more than willing to bet that the OP was totally with their post getting his attention
that's kinda the thing about these little brigades in Tumblr, it's almost always the same people who wants to stir the same shit over and over until it spills out all over the rest of the site

as celebrity gossip goes that is basically par for the course
