New week, new Splash Damage, with takes on everyone's favorite commentator, "Foreskinn" :
Indiana Black of the recently relaunched G4 went on a tirade about the sexism she faces in gaming, basically blaming her audience for the comments she gets because she is not as sexy as previous hosts. We talk about how Black has doubled down on her victimhood along with claims that Chinese company Tencent is influencing the races and breast sizes of characters in movies it funds, Dungeons & Dragons getting more streamlined and woke, censorship of Genshin Impact’s outfits, Elden Ring’s impending release, and a video game developer going above and beyond for a fan.

Same for that shithead Rothfuss.
That one is even worse, his excuses include "I'm on a diet", "I have children" and "I can't write knowing Trump got elected, I worry for my children in this world", even though his kids are white and with all the money he scammed out of retards who think more words=good literature, they are affluent too.
Considering Rothfuss supposedly had the third book done well over a decade ago, before he got famous, he has no excuse other than "extensive rewrites because my style has changed", and even then that shouldn't take more than a couple years. No, that smug bastard apparently hasn't turned in a lick of production to his publisher since circa 2014, according to his agent. We're never going to see the end of the Kingkiller series, and I'm sorry I even started reading the damn thing at this point.
Rothfuss banked on the idea that his shitty books are so much smarter than you can even imagine because he is a verbose neckbeard. Except, he knows that the end can't ever be THAT smart, because he himself isn't that smart. Pseudo-intellectual "nerds" think he is amazing.
Every sentence he wrote about the love interest in that book just gives me this full body cringe. "She is too pretty to work a normal job, so she is a whore instead. But it's fine, I am okay with every rich asshole stuffing all her orifices, because only I can make her laugh and that's special."
And Redditards still defend this as a strawng female character, who trades puss instead of actual work.
On top of that, one can easily deduce that the Innkeeper is Kvothe, so in the grand scheme of things the tale in and of itself is either one of a flawed narrator, or completely irrelevant except for detailing Kvothe's power creep. There's no hard conflict in any of it, considering that he has to survive every speed bump in the past in order to be able to tell the story in the present. As a narrative device for a single book, it might work, but stretching it across a trilogy is an amateur move, at best, and a complete failure to understand the device, at worst.
