Because she reveals an uncomfortable truth: the majority of people are completely worthless to the great achievements of society. People like to think they all contribute to the greatness, but it's actually a very small minority of people who make it happen.

As a "philosopher", nearly all of her positions are outdated and uneducated. She writes things about Aristotle so obviously contrary to the texts that it's evident that she hasn't fully read him.

Her ideas on morality are just edgy enough for people to consider, but are never coherent enough to be discussed beyond meme slogans. "haha but what if the opposite were true"

Her ideas sound good on the surface level, but are so long that nobody would take the time to give them a deeper reading.

She was anti-soviet dissident whose novels conveniently lined up with existing American ideology.

Most importantly though, having pseudo-philosophical thought in her novels makes teenagers and redditors feel really smart for reading "big intellectual books", contributing to her cancerous, cult-like fanbase. I don't blame people for being turned off from her writing when there is a voluminous mass of faggots praising her every misstep.

arguments against her on moral grounds are gay. objectivism is retarded because it pretends to find an objective basis of morality. it is a gay as aids moral absolutism that isn't very convincing.

it is true that equality doesn't real and egoism is alright bruh but the neech and stuhnuh did that shit about a million times better than she. also capitalism is ugly and if i were to weigh who the greatest motherfucker around was it probably wouldn't be who tricked the most niggers into buying the most goddamn widgets you venal whore of the most superficial of value assessments.
