The Expanse. Foundation.
Also Andy Weir is a piece of ****
Why?
He recently went on the podcast of the critical drinker (a right wing racist ableist asshole), complained about how the woke didn't like his writing of a female caracter in artemis, saying we should have a Japanese Elon Musk etc...
I haven't read Artemis, and only read project hail Mary, given how cringe the parts on earth are (the discussions of sex feel like they're written by a 15 year old), I have no doubt the "wokes” are right.
Critical drinker is neither ableist or racist, sorry Star Trek fans.
If you're a fan of his, perhaps you can provide more detail? Looking through his channel does seem to suggest that he's against the inclusion of 'identity politics' in films/TV
Ok, source? I genuinely want to know.
I've already cut Rowling out of my life, I'm not above adding on to that list given a compelling reason.
