So...did any of you have any idea that Anne McCaffrey is a fucking loon?


It’s a proven fact that a single anal sex experience causes one to be homosexual. The hormones released by a sexual situation involving the anus being broached, are the same hormones found in large quantities in effeminate homosexual males. For example, when I was much younger I knew a young man who was for all intents and purposes, heterosexual. He was mugged, and involved in a rape situation involving a tent peg. This one event was enough to have him start on a road that eventually led to him becoming effeminate and gay.

I've never read any of her books, because frankly I've got better things to do with my brain than stuff it with silly-ass dragon fantasies, and now I'm thinking I'm VERY VERY GLAD that none of my money ever went to supporting this batshit moron.

Well, I like the early books -- and, quite frankly, since all of the dragonriders except the queen rider were male, and dragons in heat invariably caused their riders to have a really really really good time with each other, this quaint misconception of hers (a single example doth not a generalization make) did lead her to inventing an entire society which was dependent on the good will and efforts of a bunch of guys who were fucking each other. And some of them quite possessive of each other, too, in a 'this isn't just about the dragons' kind of way. And no one judges them for it either!

But she has gotten a bit strange in her old age.

An author's fiction and reality don't necessarily have anything to do with each other. After a few years of reading Fandom Wank, I've certainly learned that.
