I know I was turned onto a bunch of stuff back in the 90s when I was hanging around Fido_HolySmoke, but I can't think of anything recently I was drawn to because of a controversy. Probably because SJWs hate everything, it seems. I dread the Dragonriders of Pern movie coming out of development hell, because they'll totally ruin that, too. Not the casting (if one read the books, one would expect pretty much everyone to be a muddy-looking mutt, whatever physical descriptions that I can't remember aside because the author wouldn't have thought that far at first, I'm sure), but they'd likely totally misrepresent the fuedal nature of the piece and totally fail to understand why things appeared so "sexist" (and they'd be like the son's writing, and fetishize the green dragon riders overmuch, too, I bet.)
