If I wrote a novel where "Good" and "Pretty" people were murdered by "immigration police" then I'd get lynched by J.K. Rowling for being too on the nose

      Pretty good comment.

      Pretty good will probably forever have connotations for me now

      Wasn’t that book about a serial killer who dressed up as a woman to assault his victims?

      that’s a long tradition in publishing, due to institutional and public sexism

          I think the reference was to “JK Rowling” not to “Robert Galbraith”. JK was itself meant to be ambiguously gendered so that readers wouldn’t ignore her as a woman.
