“Unfriendly reminder that anyone who responds to calls for diversity with ‘How is this fair? Hiring should be based on skill’ usually has no skill whatsoever.
Christie Golden tried this with her World of Warcraft books. She whined that the people criticizing her weren't published writers, and so were not allowed to voice their dislike of her trash novels written at a high school quality. This level of narcissism is truly mind-blowing. I wonder how much of it is at the core of the rot of the world.
It's the position of authority fallacy all over again. "I'm a published writer. Are you? No? Then sit down and shut up."
And I guarantee if there were any actual writers who cared enough to criticize her work, they would be completely ignored to keep the narrative going. As usual.
You may have noticed the same pattern during the COVID19 lockdowns and global vaxx campaign. There were numerous licensed doctors and other healthcare workers speaking out against the establishment narrative, but they were banned, mocked, and sometimes removed from their positions.
Its continually amusing that Golden was once considered the "good" writer because Knaak was just that fucking bad, and it has come around full circle that she herself became even worse than him.

More likely they'd be ostracized and canceled.

"You can't criticize me, you are not worthy of criticizing me because you are a lesser rank."
"I am a worthy rank, and I will criticize you."
"You are just a sexist/bigot. You cannot criticize me." Ruins more IPs/whole countries
It's all so tiresome.
