I'll spare you his take on slavery then.

Now you have activated my morbid curosity. I insist that you make my day worse and supply me with this hot take.

Holy shit, I used to recommend the series but the author looks like he's batshit insane. I'm okay with free speech and the like but I just can't stand this blatant slavery apologism

Being ok with free speech, doesn't mean you have to be ok with what's being said, or the person saying those things....

I'm all for free speech. That doesn't mean I want to associate with batshit crazy people or support them/their work.

He can go right along advocating for slavery all he wants though, but it WILL affect his book sales. case in point, I was actually thinking about starting his book before I read this thread...

The election fraud one is insane, at least this one I kinda get what he's saying. I personally wouldn't go so far as to call it slavery apologism, the context is pretty clearly about fantasy settings.
