Hi, I know I have been lately really into fairness, which is important, of course. Recently I found that, not surprisingly, Ora is in another conflict. Again, I repeat it because people seem to not understand. I do NOT hate her. I DO NOT. I’m being a reasonable person, exposing problematic authors, you all can call me problematic, but if you defend this, please, don’t waste your time saying I’m wrong. Because copy another person’s work it’s wrong, as the mistakes she did before this one.
Today I was in my explore page, and as always, screenshots from Ora’s stories came up, they are always on my feed, I don’t know why. I was going to click the option that I’m not interested to see these kind of posts, because I’m not, when suddenly, I saw this.
THIS IS HER STORY SHIELDED HEART.
And I got curious. You will ask, why? Well, basically because Ora copied it. I obviously, have proof, and again, if you say that this is not copied… You are defending what is indefensible. This quote is from the poetry book from Caitlyn Siehl, What We Buried, that quote is absolutely beautiful… Sadly, Ora had to copy it and claim it as hers.
As always, well done. This is a low thing to do, a very low thing to do. This is not respectable, this is wrong to do, and as always, big authors keep getting away with it. We need to stop them, in this case Ora, but believe me, I have more to show you.
You will say, then why don’t just DM her? Very good question. She will get away with it, these behaviors (as well as making racist, mysogynistic, religion jokes and sexualize my culture) need to be public, so people realize how authors are, so they STOP doing this. Don’t come at me saying Authors have feelings too! You can’t be like that!! Don’t excuse their actions with that. Ora, in this case, offended people from the African American community, Asian community, hispanic community. And also, now COPYING. So, I have all the right to speak about this publicly.
What do you think weighs more on a hypothetical scale, she offending people, cultures and religions and COPYING quotes, or I (and more people) exposing her for the (serious) mistakes she has made?
Don’t blindly defend Ora because she worked hard, she could have worked hard at doing a research and writing, instead to straight up copying.
Again, and as always, well done Ora.
How can authors just blatantly copy other people’s work? That’s giving me second hand embarrassment. I can’t even write a story with a wizardry school without feeling like I’m ripping off Harry Potter.
