Feminists never add Stephenie Meyer to such lists of persecuted women, even though she's been smeared and defamed for longer than any of those names... precisely because she's been smeared the longest.
In order for a lie to become a truth it must be repeated, often and consistently, and she's been unjustly maligned for 20 years in a row. That's a lot of time to make a lie a dogma - with women's full consent and enthusiastic participation.
Men's defamation campaign against her was allowed to pick up steam and continue to this day because her audience of mostly women who adored her books immediately and gladly stabbed her in the back when men started bullying her. Women never do show up for other women...
... unless that proves to be convenient to men, that is. Like when JK Rowling who was just as hated by men expressed her gender critical views; at which point fascist men who can't stand the sight of males in drag realized Rowling's huge fame and access to media could be used (unwittingly, against her will) to serve their homophobic agenda. Then they completely changed gears, erased history and encouraged women to stick up for her.
Yay, so many women became such great allies of her all of a sudden! And still do to this day, woo! But strangely they're mostly far-right fascist, pro-patriarchy, anti-feminist women for some reason!... I already know, whenever I stumble upon a "gender critical" youtube channel what its political views are going to be. I've seen it ad nauseum.
Meyer, however, is a very discreet celebrity, and on those rare occasions she's spoken she's never unwittingly made any statements that bigoted men could use to further their fascist agenda, so she'll never be, uh, "rehabilitated", i.e. men will never give their female servants permission to admit that she's innocent of all accusations made against her.
That's just the way it is. No doubt all of those feminists who obediently burned their Twilight books when men told them to will now be going to the Women's People's March to celebrate their equality. Enjoy your day out, girls! While men let you!
How to spot a smear campaign:
Victims’s “crimes” will be enlarged, and even if they’re small missteps, they will be treated as if only the worst person on the planet would do such a thing
Accusations against the victim will always be a reach, aka, they did ‘this little thing’ but it actually means they’re a racist/murderer/genocide supporter/fascist/have blood on their hands, even when the person’s actions never conformed to those crimes
All and any actions of the victims will be misenterpreted in the worst possible way, anything the person does will be taken as an offense and intentions will be read as hostile and manipulative, regardless of how clear they are
All victim’s actions will be taken out of context; ie, victim said something cruel to someone, but they take out the context of the victim being abused, threatened, tortured, forced into defense mode and finally attacking out of desperation to defend themselves and get free
The victim will commonly get provoked into giving a bad reaction, (anyone gets defensive if they’re accused of the crimes they never did, or simply triggering insults until they snap), and the reaction will become the new ‘proof’ that the victim is in fact, evil and guilty
A lot of pressure will be put on you to react ‘correctly’ to the smear campaign; if you don’t accept to demonize this person at once, you’re getting scrutinized, shamed for your lack of morality, told that you support all these horrid things and that you are just as despicable
You will notice a trend of people ganging together based on their demonization of the victim; they will set a standard where you’re accepted and welcome if only you also will demonize and hate this person, and if you don’t, you’re blocked, cast out, and accused of causing harm
It will feel very easy to accept to demonize this person, and going against it will feel risky, like going against the grain, doubting the word of the many and risking being demonized yourself.
The smear campaign continues all the way until the victim is chased out of the community and denied a voice, even if the victim commits no further crimes, awful things will be said about them, their past ‘misdeeds’ continually brought up, until the victim is commonly believed to be worthless, and becomes completely isolated, scared of society and alone
There will be no limit to what is considered okay to do to the victim of a smear campaign; even if the victim is accused of minor bad behaviour, it will become okay to threaten, insult, shout slurs, trigger, provoke, humiliate, manipulate, and repeat any kind of abusive behaviour to the victim, all because ‘they’re bad so they deserve it’.
People leading the smear campaign will switch between being ‘extremely grossed out and enraged’ to showing absolute joy and satisfaction when they find a new reason to demonize and smear the victim. People truly horrified of someone’s actions do not get a leap of joy when a new disaster happens, they’re not beside themselves to abuse the perpetrator all over again.
It will never, ever be acceptable to show any mercy to the victim. Forgiveness is out of the question, trying to understand them is out of the question. Even reading or listening to what this person is saying will be banned and forbidden, unless it’s for humiliating purposes. They will be shown as absolutely irredeemable, and associating yourself with them as evil and unforgivable. You will be instructed to block or unfollow or report the person based on what you’re told, without any significant proof.
Do not fall for smear campaigns. If a large amount of people all agree that a person is the worst, but their story is exaggerated, out of context, sounds fictional, and doesn’t show any proof, and the people switch from being enraged to eager, doubt it. Participating in a smear campaign will help the abusers isolate and abuse someone, and you do not want to be a part of it. They will also smear anyone who stands up to their abuse, so you’re helping the abusers to create a place where pointing out abuse gets you cast out of the community.

“About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him-and I didn’t know how potent that part might be-that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.”
— Twilight, Stephenie Meyer

"She sees things — things that might happen, things that are coming. But it’s very subjective. The future isn’t set in stone. Things change."
