Anne Frank Fanfic? Can We Not?

I've known of this article from quite some time but for some reason I didn't think to post it here. Important parts bolded to combat TL;DR.

I really find this to be in very bad taste. :/

I am actually speechless!

This kind of thing happened to Anastasia Romanova :C
People seem to think of her as a fictional character now rather than an actual person who lived and breathed before meeting a tragic end. (In addition) everyone seems to forget about the rest of the family.
I do NOT want that happening to Anne Frank! D:

Exactly. There is no need to exploit a person's life, especially in such a callous way.

i love how they are focusing on the SEX. let's forget that this poor girls entire life was destroyed and she and her family had to live in fear imprisoned in an attic with very little hope, no life, no future, no choices, let's forget all that, let's talk about who got to TAP DAT BOOTAY.

it disgusts me that this woman sat there and analyzed anne's diaries for sexual fodder. what was going on in annes vagina was more important than the poor child herself.

really i f***ing hate people sometimes. I hope the estate sues and bars these books from being published. i wish there was a law to prevent people from writing fiction about people who actually exist or people who died recently (fan fiction is okay but fiction for profit? fiction that people might actually take seriously? NO!)

scratch that, no law, can;t make a law about everything or else there would be no rights left.

people should just KNOW BETTER dammit. writing sex scenes about somebody's DEAD GRANDPA is NOT OKAY!

In agreement with everything you've said.
