The author's actions can matter.
Without knowing the background, the SCUM Manifesto may seem like a satire of misogynistic attitudes, turning them around, but knowing that, it's not a satire.
I know there are accusations against Scott Lynch and Elizabeth Bear. I'm not planning to buy any more of their work until this is resolved, one way or another, and if I re-read Karen Memery, I'm sure the accusations will change a lot.
