Wait...WHAT?

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.

Just...*boggle*.

(Btw, I know I've said weird conservative-like things in the past, but I'm over that! I'm a centrist now. And even back then in those weird days, I never thought homosexuality was wrong! Just in case I was meant to be one of those slash writers mentioned in another comment...)

What? No! I've never heard you say anything along those lines. I was talking about ficcers I've seen pilloried on Fandom Wank. They can get really insane.

Also, glad to hear you've distanced yourself from the more, shall we say, special brand of political thinking in America. Things are getting seriously batshit over on that side of the fence.

Ah, whew. Well, there was some point at which some post or another of mine led another slasher to conclude that I "wanted government in the bedroom", which sounds about as un-sexy as possible to me. :) But hey, at least we're not Twilight fans. Now THERE'S an insane group--even more so because the canon material itself is insane.

Yeah, if nothing else, being centrist is far better for my career as a writer. Too much loyalty toward just one side doesn't help my ability to sympathize with all types of characters, which I need to be able to do. Also, politics makes nobody happy, as far as I can tell. So yeah. :)
