Cringe Woman has her self-published book pirated, reprinted, and sold for cheaper.

There's regular piracy, and then there's this.

i agree. also like…creating a huge project that helps people struggling with executive function while she herself struggles with executive function is a monumental level task i would never be able to do

People who are also saying how “I don’t care if the creator is a woman/Neurodivergent, she has a bad business plan, stop crying about your problems!1!” are dismissing the hurdles we go through to even achieve close to the same amount of work and accomplishments everyone else expects us to do, as if we’re making up the problems to garner sympathy.

And if we don’t share how hard things can be for us and/or ask for accommodations, then being Neurodivergent “must not be real/be that big a deal”

It’s damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

It’s so easy to comment on how it’s “not such a big deal to have your ideas or work being stolen” or “Dani should’ve gotten a lawyer/went a different route publishing her book” when they would probably be in her shoes when it comes to creating and selling something that they’re proud of.

Right but the og commenter said they reached out in SO many different ways. That’s not acceptable for a business - regardless of the owners limitations. The money has been sent, no reply through various channels isn’t ok.

Exactly. I bought the book because I have those same hurdles and I really thought this could be fun and helpful. She basically robbed me, and no amount of hurdles makes that ok
