I really need to stop browsing WoT subs, I've been feeling liquified bits of my brain leaking out through my nose and ears for the past few days, it's like staring directly into highly-radioactive material and just feeling your body start falling apart on the molecular level.

    Hilarious since depending on the turning it is entirely possible the Dragon Reborn can be female, and the show is basically already pretty clearly not the turning from the books.

    Edit: also, the username of the chud writing it. Kelsier, from Mistborn.

    A literal Proletarian revolutionary who wants to murder the nobility and is presented as pretty much utterly correct in that opinion, save a class traitor or two. Just not a shred of self-awareness.

      Kelsier was based. I need to reread Mistborn now that I'm a commie.

      Isn't that Brandon Sanderson? He's a Mormon right, did he write a communist fantasy novel?

        Sanderson seems like one of the good Mormons. Like I wouldn't be suprised if he turned out to be a chud, but his books are pretty nuanced an compassionate.

        Luke one of the main plot points of the storm light archive is that all the characters get their powers from dealing with their emotional and psychological trauma, and he handles it in a pretty compassionate way.

        Plus Kelsier believes the highest calling for a person in his world is murdering noblemen.

        Sanderson is alright, he's taken time to come around but he checked himself on lgbt issues and has one of the best reps of an autistic character in fiction (and deliberately makes the reader hate her before giving her an internal voice). He also has aro/ace characters.
