So the question is simply are there any writers that you absolutely avoid? These can be any medium fiction or not fiction. Me I have four:
1) Joss Whedon. I know this guy is a hero for some but after the end to the first season of Dollhouse was so bad especially regarding his supposed strength of female characters and feminism I will never watch anything of his again. link You don’t spend a whole season deconstructing the white knight complex just so you can end the season with every female character acting like a idiots and so your male deconstruction can all of suddenly save the day. I got interest feminism because of how bad the female characters in “Omega” where. Even after giving Joss a second chance I’m still baffled at how he retains such strong feminist credibility: link
2&3) Marc Walters and Casey Hudson: The ending to Mass effect 3 was narratively incoherent link with an abhorrent moral message link You don’t spend three games creating rich racial metaphors about the importance of diversity only to (via Diabolus Ex Machina) try to convince us those racial metaphors where in realty metaphors for singularity theory so you can then try put a “bittersweet” spin on either forced enslavement of a race, genocide of a race or forced homogenization of all races in the galaxy including non-sentient ones. (This for some reason is the best ending despite it going against the basic themes of the whole series and of all common and scientific sense). I’ll give them a second chance in the form of downloading the extend cut DLC but ya they’d need to pull a miracle for me to buy anything they work on again.
4) Ian Kerner. You do not get to tell me my orgasms aren’t “genuine”. Anyone who can’t wrapped their head around that should not be a sex educator.
So yours?
