I was turned off Sanderson in a big way back when he ran his first "secret project" kickstarter. I was all in on improving the lives of authors and voice actors by teaching Audible that there were viable alternatives to their audiobook monopoly. Then Brandon took $43 million, pocketed it (0 charitable donations from the sum raised on KS), and then sold those books "that will never be available on amazon" on Kindle and Audible within 6 months.

No changes for authors. No improvement for voice actors. Just 43 million dollars for the fattest, most selfish, most repugnant grifter since Patrick Rothfuss. He'll write about LGBTQIA representation while simultaneously funding Mormon conversion therapy facilities. Fictional characters can be accepted in their fictional world but real breathing people need to be shamed into acting right.

Fuck Brandon sanderson and all of his works, petty and flawed as they are.
