I don't know many Sanderson fans are around here, but for those who don't know, the 5th book of the Stormlight Archive just came out. I'm about halfway through it and there is so much shoehorned woke garbage in it.
One character is suddenly gay, like Kaiden in Mass Effect 3. There are all these references to transgenderism, which hasn't existed at all in this universe until this point. All of it is so jarring and out of place. I guess Sanderson has been spending too much time on reddit.
I just want one thing I can enjoy.
I thought this was old news?
He's been showing signs for a little while, bullshit said in interviews and on his website in the last year or two. But I think this is the first time it's trickled down into his actual books.
There was one tiny phrase in The Lost Metal (came out in 2022 I think) where he wrote "women and men" instead of the usual "men and women" and I knew it was just a matter of time.
Funny how one little thing like that can tell you a lot.
He's been showing signs of it since Mistborn.
