How to do you feel about rape, constant rape? Whole cities of rape? Demon rape? Lesbian rape? Prison rape?

How do you feel about Objectivism?

If your answer isn't FUCK YEAH I LOVE THOSE THINGS!!!!.... DO NOT READ HIS BOOKS.

[(Anonymous)]

Aaaand his books just got downgraded to "will maybe read when I have time" to "thing to prop furniture with".

Thanks for helping me keep a level blood pressure.

[ariakas]

You will, however, miss out on the evil chicken that invades people's dreams to feed them socialist propaganda, if you don't.

Did Fox News write this?

[ariakas]

No, but I'd wager hard currency Goodkind watched a lot of it.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd wager good money that Fox News is not libertarian enough for Terry Goodkind and he sneers at people who watch it for being 'sheeple'

[darkmanifest]

Whole cities of rape?

What. Could you just...I mean, what is this?

[ariakas]

Soldiers going through a city and raping all of the women. Like, all of them. They formed teams and such to get the job done.

And in the wake of the devastation, one of his female characters sees the raped and mutilated body of a woman she used to know and her reaction is "har har she liked to flirt with soldiers, that's what she gets! hilarious irony!".

What I'm saying is that it's totally realistic and it needed to be described in loving detail, every word.

[darkmanifest]

Greeeaaaagggh, no. Thanks for ensuring I never pick these books up by mistake, ever.

[ariakas]

I was desperate for fantasy as a teen. I'd read anything. Even I had to give these up after a while.

(anon from above)

Funny, the (female) friend who'd recommended it to me is exactly the same. She's a huuuge fan of fantasy but lately she has started to hate his work.

[(Anonymous)]

You know...

I'm reading Steven Erikson's "Deadhouse Gates" right now, and...there's rape. Lots of rape (spoken about, blessedly, not gone over in any amount of detail), because all of the Seven Cities has just erupted in a bloody revolution. But it's treated as being a terrible thing, and not a single POV character has been like, "hyuk hyuk that's what they deserve doop-de-doo!" They've all been like, "WHAT IS THIS SHIT *ANGER*". Thus, while it is disturbing, I am okay with it.

But...what you've described? Fucking Christ. I'm glad I've put off Sword of Shannara. I think I'll be putting it off indefinitely.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh, Sword of Shannara is by Terry Brooks. Wizard's First Rule is by Terry Goodkind and is rapetastic. Sword of Shannara is kind of eh but not rapetastic that I can recall.

AYRT

Aha! Thank you for setting me straight! There's so many Terrys in fantasy; I'm always getting them mixed up. :(
