It's funny (""funny"") how they get mad about "male writers writing women" but then also get mad at Tolkein for not having as many women characters as they want (even though the ones he does have are good characters) and so on.
There is no winning move, except to ignore them. Or outright tell them you don't give a fuck, if they don't have the power to cancel you.
This is why I wish the comic book industry had said they are going to cater to their core audience. Same with Star Wars. Whenever someone whines about not being represented then just tell them to write their own story and move on.
