    Yes, let us defend the billionaire bigot from a mean word online.

    How does boot taste?

      Your condemnation is cheap. I see a collection of great books and movies. And then I see you here, anonymously whining. Three guesses which impresses me more.

        How about you separate the author from the works? You can think her books were great, but it doesn’t change that she’s extremely bigoted.

        Then you haven’t seen her twitter platform, listened to years of trans advocacy for her to stop cheering on the brigading of bigotry or you just don’t care.

        Ostrich head in the sand, boot in the mouth or apathetic bystander to bigotry. Whatever the cope it’s past time defending her. Enjoy your wizard shit quietly.

            So, the only difference between Hitler being good or bad is the number of paintings that he managed to sell? Wow…

            Maybe writing a masterpiece doesn’t excuse the harm one continues to perpetrate. Also my outrage is not secondhand. I am part of the community she has been campaigning against.

        Wow, I mean the first like 3 books are actually quite good (there was a void for this kind of writing, “serious” fantasy, and still exist IMO), but the rest was just mediocre. Especially from book 5 and onwards.

        The films? They are so bad it’s not even funny.

          The first movie is pretty good IMO, but that’s because it gets to introduce all of the creative (if highly derivative) world building.

          Past that, they rely more and more on quality of writing more than merely existing in a neat (if a bit nonsensical and still highly flawed) world. So… yeah, entertainment value dips off pretty hard.
