For the record I've never read a Sanderson novel, but I've heard they were rather socially conservative for the most part. No sex, no modern politics, no R-rated scenes. Moderate T for Teen level content.
Sanderson has also been pushing for Hollywood deals for a long time, but had no luck.
The most recent book suddenly had homos and non-binary and all that stuff. Then boom, TV deal signed.
Thoughts?
Oh wow, that's bad. Might well be the gayest line imaginable. Woulda been less gay to just kingdom-cum-in-my-ass the character.
It's not just gay. It's a bit very modern day millennial gay for a medieval semi-apocalyptic fantasy world.
Spoken by what was formerly the most awesome character in the series. A character who is essentially sidelined in the last book in the series so we can get gay inter-species romance bullshit.
