This is what justice looks like in a feminized, social-media enabled society.

This woman's writing career is completely over because of this.

The novel is somewhat autobiographicalβ€”Stusek describes undergoing a similar ordeal to the protagonist’s.

Aka her parents sent her to summercamp one time.

an event planner at a nursing home

Wilderness therapy isn't summer camp lmao

It's where they walk kids in 30 mile wide circles on federal land in the desert and don't let them know where they are with a compas or map or anything because if they get a sense of where civilization they might try to escape.

They tell the parents the kids are doing "cool survival stuff and are totally happy" but really they drinking dirty water eating rice and getting intestinal parasites and malnutrition lol

they also often have weird shame circles where inmates have to rank eachother on their performance and ur not allowed to rank everyone too good or different from how everyone else ranks them

And if u get bad rankings u lose privileges, for example like being able to shower (pour ur dirty water cup over ur head) behind a curtain, instead the staff have to wash u because the others rated ur hygene 1 star

But a lot of ppl describe it as used mud water they gotta bathe with so they can't actually get clean so they get punished more

β€œI had a perfect 5 star average till this b-word came up. She said, β€˜The ending was kind of predictable.’ Yeah, well, it’s my life, not a fricking murder mystery. β€˜But other than that, it was incredible,’ so you just gave me four stars?” The video attacking Kebartas’ review no longer appears on Stusek’s TikTok profile, removed for violating TikTok’s community guidelines, according to screenshots and Stusek herself.

Anyone have the video?

Wait a minute... a single 4/5 review can cause this much seethe??

Oh yeah, they get super pissed because their rating affects how many rides the algorithm will give them. I'm sure they're still having lots of seethe threads on rideshare ratings. It's kinda understandable because it affects their income, and most people who know this just give 5's by default.

People get a single whiff of the kind of solidarity we'll show to a person obviously under the thumb of faceless capital and decide they're entitled to that shit from everyone

The controversy began over the weekend when GoodReads user Karleigh Kebartas, an event planner at a nursing home in Massachusetts who graduated from Pace University last year, posted a positive review of an advance copy of the book. It was the first book she had ever gotten early, she said. The initial version of her review praised Three Rivers as β€œa really great first novel!!!” but said that β€œthe ending was kind of predictable,” hence the near-perfect score.

Lmao I hate everyone involved with this. From the commercial producer turned YA drivel entitled author to the boring multiple exclamation point bingo planner reviewer. YA as a genre and everyone associated with it should be eliminated.
