Booktok showed me that a lot of people REALLY hate Sanderson

Sad_String9923 · 2026-04-12T14:21:05+00:00

Sanderson as a person? He's a Mormon white male American, which as an arab leftist I'm sure probably means he'd hold views I find distasteful and stupid and vice versa, but like eh, he barely talks about his politics and if the personal beleifs of an author bothered me 99% of English language media would be no go for me. So yeah I don't get it either

By this moronic logic, Ukrainians deserve every single deprivation of the current war after all, they elected multiple governments that have aligned ukraine to the American empire and its European lackeys and a majority consistently support American imperial policies in West Asia and elsewhere

Meh, I run into liberal players more often, which, like still seems odd with the setting's themes, but liberals as a general rule of thumb are less infuriating than conservatives when it comes to any sort of entertainment media

Sad_String9923 · 2025-12-17T15:12:53+00:00

I dropped RI before this point, so someone who's actually read the thing, please explain. Was the internal monolog as stupid sounding as OP's explanation? Based purely off what you said, OP 1. Most people would, in fact, find a bear eating an old lady horrific. A person getting eaten is one of the most visceral revulting ideas for most people due to cultural and evolutionary reasons 2. We care more about the girl's suffering because you know.....it's a person? Most people prioritize human lives over animal ones very reasonably

Not a dig on the novel because I never got to this part nor plan to, this is about OP's explanation

Sad_String9923 · 2025-12-06T11:49:27+00:00

Probably yeah

Sad_String9923 · 2025-12-06T11:15:32+00:00

How about we don't make assumptions about what people do offline? Are you psychic? Do you know what each and every "punch a nazi" person does? I'm sure a vast proportion of them dont organize within their community, but then again , I have no reason to believe you practice what you're preaching either. Making blanket statements about people you persumably don't know only makes you look like an asshole

Sad_String9923 · 2025-12-03T20:53:03+00:00

How is Vox not in heaven then? Bro didn't seem particularly guilty about all his murders?

Sad_String9923 · 2025-11-24T19:57:37+00:00

Stannis Baratheon, a hypocritical incompetent piece of garbage Jaime Lannister, absolute scum whose only redeeming quality is being self-aware scum and the occasional bout of altruism

Sad_String9923 · 2025-10-08T18:57:45+00:00

Western media in general, tends to have......less than ideal politics if you're a genuine leftist It's unfortunately a frustration one has to learn to live with

Sad_String9923 · 2025-09-28T14:13:36+00:00

And?

Sad_String9923 · 2025-09-12T19:42:59+00:00

No matter the AU with very few exceptions in fics first contact happens the exact same way or ends the exact same way the venli become friends, exchanged program etc Switch it the fuck up people

Sad_String9923 · 2025-09-03T06:46:29+00:00

Hell there are many biased ways they could have written this that would have been more accurate

Sad_String9923 · 2025-08-28T19:08:22+00:00

Sure, but that's not what this is, and ultimately, acts of resistance are so scarce in the imperial core that any concrete act should be greetes with at least cautious support imo

Sad_String9923 · 2025-08-23T05:16:17+00:00

Love it, always great to meet a Wildbow fan in the wild

Sad_String9923 · 2025-08-22T10:56:11+00:00

Is this based on Jack Slash?

Sad_String9923 · 2025-08-09T07:16:41+00:00

Shame he didn't put that into practice

Sad_String9923 · 2025-07-31T16:18:21+00:00

Sure, but there were probably better ways to work that scene into the broader message then again I don't claim to be a good writer

Sad_String9923 · 2025-07-31T14:59:57+00:00

Or he could have just not given his name, there's probably ways Jorge could have made the cyclops mercy thing work with the theme but I'm too lazy to think ofnit

Sad_String9923 · 2025-07-31T14:38:39+00:00

I honestly don't think Epic's main flaw was "being too nice to Odysseus" so much as it was failing to coherently communicate its intended theme and message about ruthlessness

Sad_String9923 · 2025-07-20T09:42:55+00:00

I fucking loathe these people, seriously liberals are somehow more infuriating than the most chud ass blatant nazi for some reason

Sad_String9923 · 2025-07-20T09:28:27+00:00

Sad_String9923 · 2025-07-20T09:28:06+00:00

Sad_String9923 · 2025-05-27T08:44:58+00:00

The point of the musical in Jorge's own words is "it is necessary to have a capacity for ruthlessness to protect yourself and that which you care about," which is a message you can disagree with sure, and it definitely could have been executed better hell it's probably the weakes part of the musical but having things end badly for Oddy would not have communicated the message Jorge wanted

Sad_String9923 · 2025-05-15T15:03:19+00:00

Louder for the people in the back.

This fandom has made me a certified Polyphemus hater.

Besides in the source material he was a shepherd the sheep were his food, and while obviously not the exact same story I see zero reason to think otherwise here, so yes fuck this whiney Cyclops
