Y’all, I can’t help but think about if it were an author of color they’d be dragged through the mud, dropped by their agent, and doors would be closed for them. Instead, the author in question is still running around talking on shows, publicizing their book, people defending them

No because so many marginalized authors worked so hard to market their books, and not to mention even having take things out to make their books “palatable” to sell. This is absolutely ridiculous but the consequences aren’t there.
