There's this terrible book called Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind, now deceased. The author was a militant Randian, he wrote every story as an allegory for objectivist fables. There's even one book in the series where an ersatz Bill and Hillary Clinton exist and have affairs and one of them intentionally infects the other with Fantasy AIDs so they can all die horrific deaths together.
Anyway, one plot of the first book was this idea that the bad guys were infiltrating the Good Kingdoms by banning fire. They start spreading this propaganda about how fire is bad for you and it needs to be abolished to make the world safer. It was such a dumb idea I kept chortling about it the whole time I read the series, who the fuck is going to ban fire?
MF'er WAS RIGHT. Rest in peace brother, you earned it.
