    Got banned from a supposedly safe space ahem r/fantasy ahem for calling out that recommending a mormon and Zionist author Sanderson to an east asian looking for hope is ironic.

      Damn, that sucks. I literally just finished the Mistborn trilogy on Friday and it has become one of my favorite series. I haven’t had a series I enjoyed like that in like a decade or so. Do you by any chance have links to comments he’s made about Zionism or anything like that?

        Just look at the Legion series cliffnotes. Rich white city boy goes to Jerusalem to save it from the evil brown savages. It’s not even a little subtle.

        Afaik, because of his book legion, I am in a dilemma whether to read it for myself but the facts are that the books are set in a place inspired by Jerusalem and tries to glorify the settlers and also he has been to Israel multiple times for book signings iirc.
