Imma cry
Recently, well, not very recently, but I've been noticing a common theme that almost every artist or author with a really good series is always in poor health or something happened, like I just started watching a new anime by the author of Haven't You Heard I'm Sakamoto to come to find out that she already died of cancer. Also, I was very into Solo Leveling, and we already know how that ended. I forgot the name of the manhwa, but the author was islamophobic. I also really liked this manga called Act Age, and I think the author got arrested for sexually assaulting two middle school girls. It's not just here; it's also on Webtoon, like the author of Lumine is always on Hiatus, and there are two other series that I always read, and there was no announcement or anything. The authors just stopped posting, and it's been like 5 years. I'm wondering if it's the authors or is it just me? Am I cursed?

Also, when a series is popular people want to know what the authors go going on, I guess it’s human nature to find out why people think the way they do and why they do things, like what’s the reason for this and that in the plot, which in some cases they inadvertently stumble upon some problematic views the author may have on their socials like Islamophobia for example because their environment perpetuates bigoted ideas about Muslims and if you’ve never seen the world you’re gonna believe the people closest to you.
There’s no excuse for the nonces though.
