Imagine you write a story. And some faggot activists come along and say. ."What you say about your own story is wrong, im going to rewrite your own story for you".
It would be nice if Death of the Author actually waited for the author to meet death, though. Oftentimes people are arguing directly at the author, proclaiming their work means something completely different to the author themselves.
"What I get out of this story as is relates to my life" is a very different statement than "This is what the author meant in this story", too. Objectively, in example, the Barbie movie is feminist dross. But subjectively, many audiences found the struggle of Ken to be important or symbolic in some way while to the author he had no value beyond being fanservice. Both these things can exist side by side. "The author meant to do this thing, but the portrayal, to me, showcases instead this other thing".

The audacity of these people.
