it’s a good hate-read. imagine wandering through the psycho-sexual power fantasy of a dyed-in-the-wool randian
but wizard bdsm pet play is a central part of the storyline of the first book (and some/most of the ones after that) which your comment got me thinking about.
yeah, and gendered correctly after that. Jordan shouldn’t get credit for this, and it’s not necessarily woke, he’s just cribbing norse mythology, also not woke.
but in the modern social context the books were written in, not including any jokes/misgendering of the character is notable. also notable that the character that gets this treatment is a villain, and it’s a forced feminization done by satansaitan as punishment for failure
more like ‘she ditzed, ditzily’. I guess it’s the same thing
the older I get the more I think Goodkind was just a more self-aware version of Jordan lol
think the show went woke.
one of the books written in the early 90s had a trans character lmao. they’re gender essentialist as shit and even that mormon guy that finished the series wrote better women than Jordan, but lol. lmao even.
even better lmao
I forgot can’t win with these cats was on the burner, lmao
me irl
imagine writing a 10k word literary critique of that gender essentialism when you were a teen and not once thinking that the essentialism was problematic, but just a faithful re-creation of the source myths. or even once considering the eurocentrist/colonial depictions of the non-whites. couldn’t be me
