HMG got the author in an #ownvoices brangle that, frankly, highlights my issues with the execution of the #ownvoices concept - she was basically forced to come out as aro/ace in order to defend having a similar character.
That seems really wrong to me. It's not always safe to come out, and even apart from that, people should be able to come out if and when THEY want to, not because they're being pressured.
And also, what about books that have multiple characters, like most books do? An author is only one person - they can't have ALL the identities. So does everyone in a book have to be the same identity as the author?
