in a typical reddit fashion the post is getting downvotes despite just asking the obvious question.

i have a reading account for when i need to read reddit via logged-in account, so i went and asked.

ETA-1: and got banned for asking.

ETA-2: the subreddit's description still has “sub moved to https://awful.systems” in the old view.

such an excellent nazi bar they have there.

oh i agree, but verhoeven's reading of the original is still not wrong, and the reassons for his distaste are valid. and heinlein was not only the author of the moon is harsh mistress, but also of the incredibly racist farnham's freehold (yes, i'm aware that he probably toned down the racism of campbell's original, but that's a bar so low that you need to dig a trench to find it.)

also, to some extent, poul anderson's war of the wing-men.

misaimed fandoms are a thing; you'd be surprised (or not) how many hard right fans in poland do the witcher books and games have. similarly, there are still people who believe that verhoeven's starship troopers film is an affirmation, not repudiation of fascism (in the original book, and in general).

it's good the rats can't help themselves but to brag about what they're doing – in at least three different public places.

no, no, it's fine. the less readable they are, the better.

well, what gives. who could've expected that tracing woodbins is a liar, and a scoundrel.

dear me. doesn't he know that the actual art requires hate-skimming at most?
