Back when I read Bad Roleplayers Suck, there was a giant, angry split between the Pern roleplayers who kept the weird sexism stuff and the Pern roleplayers who ditched it. Somehow the sexist roleplayers considered themselves the "authorized" ones and thought the non-sexist roleplayers were "unauthorized"? I have no idea where that came from, since my impression was that McCaffrey C&D'd anything she could find.

She originally C&D'd everything she found, but she mellowed out a bit in her later years and allowed some games, as long as they didn't use any of her characters and stuck to her rules for the world. Including the weird sexism and rapey shit.

So yes, the people who clung to the sexism were (usually, as long as they didn't make any other unauthorized changes) authorized, and the ones who ditched it were not. Pern is a weird fucking fandom.
