Sorry, I am not a 13 year old teenager. A good editor could have made one good book out of the last two. But well. Regarding whale mothers: never understood the outcry. So the Dunyan enslaved their women and reduced them to breeding cattle. That’s it. Evil for sure. But come on, we have a lot of Americans in these threads. Your country reduced people to exactly that, breeding cattle, not too long ago. Based on pigments. What I want to say: the concept of whale mothers is not so outlandish. It’s just lame and not even a good Hommage to Herbert. Just lame and crying for validation. Edgy. What's the point of this? That because humans are shitty and do terrible things Bakker we can't criticize Bakker for making an intellectually sloppy decision that happens to fall into the category of gross misogyny? We have a lot of Germans who post on this board and their country recently committed mass genocides. Doesn't make the concept of whale mothers any less outlandish. It's practically the definition of outlandish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Twink in the North Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Quote The silence, she knows, is the silence they have marched through since entering the Obsidian Gate, the silence of their shutting in, the silence of corpses in their tombs. The ageless roar of Cil-Aujas. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK that last line is so cool.

Well that sure came out of nowhere. I don't know whose hurt you my friend, but it wasn't me. I'm just responding to the tone of damn near every single time you've quoted me in this thread. Also JEORDHl implied few pages ago you've been shit-talking Bakker for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With both MFing hands baby. I would be ALL up on that man's dick given the chance, literary or otherwise. You think I'm ashamed of fan-wanking in "Bakker part twenty-something" thread? Of course I'm wanking, I love these books. I don't know the writer but he seems like an incredible dude. And with all the "squeaky clean" scifi/fantasy writers that have been revealed over the past few years to have been fucking their underage fans, or locking their kids in dog crates, or going on unhinged, transphobic twitter rants...idk, I'm done feeling squeamish about having Bakker on my shelves. Tolkien was a racist, puritanical little shit who can suck my dick, and while he's down there Frank Herbert can fondle the balls. I'll take Persian, cuckold, pussy-eating Gandalf any day. As far as I'm concerned R. Scott Bakker is one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time, maybe the best living atm, and he gets nowhere near the recognition he deserves. PCE-out beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
