    I remember this being a shitpost years ago on fantasy/world-building subreddits. Does this actually have something to do with Brando Sando?

      One of his book series involves a society with an eye color based caste system. In the books, it is depicted as objectively wrong and evil. Racists irl sometimes actually believe this on top of their ideas about skin color, because why the fuck wouldn't they pass up a chance to be more racist.

        There's one character in his books who's basically "the author's perspective if the author was cool" and he specifically goes on a rant about how it might be the stupidest system of social categorization he's ever seen

          Okay good to hear. Everything I've seen of Sando's writing indicates he's a a subreddit given flesh, but he didn't seem this overtly despicable.

            No, he actually seems like a super nice, chill guy who works hard to listen to the criticism of his mormon-ass social views.

              Oh I don't mean his personality strictly - I just mean the bits of writing that I've either seen online or that friends have shown me over the years aren't for me.
