Please say what you mean.
- jacquesm 3y agoIf you insist: - Heinlein https://www.spectator.com.au/2019/03/robert-a-heinlein-the-giant-of-sf-was-sexist-racist-and-certainly-no-stylist/ - Asimov https://www.publicbooks.org/asimovs-empire-asimovs-wall/ - Clarke https://www.vice.com/en/article/bjxp5m/we-asked-people-what-childhood-moment-shaped-them-the-most (nebulous, but credible) - Orson Scott Card https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_Scott_Card#Homosexuality_2 Sorry if that toppled any of your heroes. I have book by all of them on my shelves but they're not necessarily saints.
- dekhn 3y agoNone of them were my heroes, except card before he wrote Speaker for the Dead. More importantly, if you don't like somebody, don't just hint at it- give us a link.
- louky 3y agoSorry that Heinlein one is paywalled I'll look further. I've read all his stuff, even the horrible mess of the last books and posthumous thing. He was completely into turning into a woman even early on much less the book where he had his brain put into a secretary who died in an accident and went into the ramifications. I say he as Lazarus Long and the rest were him.
- defrost 3y agoHeinlein article: https://archive.md/ojvdU https://archive.md/ojvdU archive.xxx is prblematic at best if you use Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS, fine with other providers, Quad9, Google, etc.
- JieJie 3y agoFair enough. They were as ahead of their time as they were behind ours.
