roaming_kate23There have been a few videos lately talking about problematic authors.
Hmm.Yeah. I mean, there needs to be some definition there.Because there is definitely a difference between authors who just can’t write and authors who have opinions that are just straight up wrong(JK Rowling,I’m looking at YOU.) but some who dabble in a bit of both(Colleen Hoover comes right to mind.I’ve read ONE of her books-that was a one and done thing for sure.)
Then you have shitty and wiring questionable content(any number of authors -Orson Scott Card is a HUGE one.He was a Mormon and used..offensive language .Tried to read Ender’s Game and the first time I saw a certain anti-gay slurs, I was OUT.Nope.Not reading any more.
