Ayn Rand is hated so much, because she is more masculine than 90% of /lit/ neckbeards.

implying /lit/ give a fuck bout a gender binary

i don't like her because her villains are one-dimensional making her points moot. realism is the only logical option when you're trying to make a point about something, and she was.

As much as I want to avoid contributing to this thread, I must disagree with this statement:
>realism is the only logical option when you're trying to make a point about something

Haven't you heard of satire?

Can someone explain what is wrong with her, in terms of writing?

I know the philosophy is utter shit.

Philosophers are protected by the passing of time. If Socrates published his work today people would try to discredit his opinions by looking at what he suffered in life, just like they are doing with Rand.

She uses circular arguements in her stories.

Her writing is bad because her narrators heavy-handedly moralize in favor of her philosophy for the majority of her books, because her characters deliver moralizing speeches to one another about her philosophy, and her descriptions are semi-competent imitations of the romantics that also serve to express the correctness of her view.

You know, it's a shame that her estate is so litigious because for all that I'm not a fan, I gotta admit she'd make a great hero of a dumb Quirk Books novel about beating up werewolves or something
