    There are a lot of contradictory people out walking around.

    Some even write books.

    Lovecraft was apparently a racist, yet wrote about how the innsmouth fish people were unfairly discriminated against because of how they looked.

    It’s just confusing to read because he was pretty racist but then insightful for his fictional discriminated fish people.

    🤷

      Orson Scott Card wrote about different species living as peaceful friends. And he is a homophobic piece of shit.

        Right!? That guy.

        Omg.

        So the ender books. I had the audio book versions. I used to have a job where I could listen to books all day, so I did. And I can’t recall which book of his this was , it might have been Ender.but at the end there was an audio message from him. And I’ll summarize the main points.

        1. You may have noticed that I (orson) voiced one of the characters in this audio book. That’s because I have a wonderful voice and the producers begged me to do it. Everyone knows I have an exceptional voice and way of speaking. I’m really just very good. (On and on he goes)

        2. My ex wife is a bitch and so is her new effeminate husband. She never believed in me. She always held me back. Did I mention she’s a bitch ? (Honestly like 5 minutes of pure bashing on his ex. Maybe more).

        3. I’ll never agree to have ender made into a movie because the producers keep wanting to give ender a love interest.
