NAYRT so I can't exactly say what their issues with Heinlein are, but I definitely agree that Heinlein mostly sucks

A couple of his books are OK (particularly Moon is a Harsh Mistress). But I don't think he was a very strong writer in general, and has a strong tendency towards bloviating; and he had a lot of old-fashioned, traditional, right-wing views on things. He had deeply weird ideas about women, often tending to support very outdated gender roles even at the same time as he portrayed outspoken and strong-willed female characters, and also a lot of his books just have weird stuff around race and sex (I am sorry, but it is weird to write a book in which the authorial stand-in main character travels back in time to have sex with his own mother). He was very much a right-wing libertarian for most of his writing career - Starship Trooper, for instance, grew out of Heinlein's staunch anti-communism and his opposition to attempts at detente with the Soviets. And he wrote a book (Sixth Column) that's undeniably racist, as well as another (Farnham's Freehold) that I would argue is racist in its own right. In general, he just had that very old-fashioned arrogant smartest-man-in-the-universe attitude that's common among a certain kind of (usually male, usually older, usually libertarian, often worked in engineering) science fiction fan.
