How does that help anyone?
What purpose would it serve me?
What effect would it have on anyone or anything?
Have you read any of his works? How many?
Even Hitler has a book in the library. Card's book may not have gay people but nothing I've read has had anti gay messaging.
- edit I'm asking all of you who are downvoting me to please also answer any of these questions- I am seriously interested in an answer.

Yeah. I looked him up... he doesn't think gay people should be equal citizens. Kinda hard to look past that.. honestly kinda wish I could have never made this post.

Dude. Read the link in my edit. He doesn't think gay people should be equal citizens.
I'm not saying these crazy people calling him a 'proud nazi' aren't completely moronic. But he does have some fucked up ideas

It made sense enough for me. It just left me longing for the wars that would never be.. we leave our main characters all super charged with power. We had mages working with the US military. People learning to gate without gates. And people like Danny and his Wind Mage friend who were talking about doing magic for muggles. Making big gates in all major cities with giant hubs to move everyone to anywhere, instantly and free. Healing gates in every village. I bet mages could fix up our melting glaciers too..
There was so much more I wanted to see happen. And it seems like he will never return to the big story. His only interest is writing more about Westeril.

I just found out about his being a piece of shit... honestly didn't know a thing about him. Definitely would have reconsidered this post.

He's a Nazi?
I don't know why that's hard to believe.. but I guess it wouldn't be if I hadn't read much more than that..
Well balls... I'm not gonna stop enjoying art that I enjoy because the creator was horrible... I know it's a pretty hot trend but I can't imagine the amount of loved art that would be lost.
I can and should (and will) certainly stop funding him though..

I can understand not wanting to give the guy money. I actually support that.. but what harm will be done by reading his work? Obviously that assumes you can aquire a book that's used- but buying his book from goodwill doesn't give him any money. So what benefit comes from you not reading his books? As someone who read many of them before finding out he's bigot, I can assure you that no such themes appear in his works (well, the 15 or so I've read.)
