"I will never read anything by [AUTHOR] because some things [AUTHOR] wrote are now in my no no list."
replySorry, that just doesn't make sense to me.
Did you read the thing I linked? It's on the same level as the Turner Diaries or Fu Manchu or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
replyI'm only on this earth for so many years, and the number of words I can shove in my eye holes is finite. Dan Simmons thought it was a good idea to write that, and publish it on his own blog. SF is the kind of genre where you run the risk of getting hit with a big bolus of the author's politics at any time, and why would I drink from a well somebody's already pooped in?
With the amount of fiction available to read, why give your money to authors who are bad people?
replySure, but at the same time it's debatable whether even an artist themselves gets to retroactively reinterpret their own art that way.
