John C Wright is an unapologetic bigot

[wealhtheow]

(Posted because years from now, I might wonder why John C Wright is on my list of "avoid at all costs" authors.)

Shortly after L. Jagi Lamplighter's racefail, people discovered a rant by her husband, John C Wright. He's a sf/f author published by TOR. He's also a racist (more), sexist, Islamaphobic (more), homophobe who is desperately in love with the sound of his own voice. He thinks Obama wants to kill us all, Catholicism is logical, and his books being shelved next to Susan Wright's "bondage fiction" is a conspiracy.

Responses since this idiocy broke have been by turns amusing and impressively thoughtful.
His wiki entry is being revised constantly.
His books are tagged with "bigotry" on amazon.

Thank you for making me read that. My brain hurts so much now. It's good to know that I have no values unless I share his interpretation of Catholicism, and that my relationship is completely meaningless.

Also,
"The most erotic experience in life is the copulation between a man and wife when they are trying to get pregnant. You light the candles, you pour the wine, the tear the bridal veil away, you carry her over the threshold like a Sabine woman (it is sexier if she kicks her legs) and you set down to the pragmatic business of baby-making. "

There is nothing kinky about this. Clearly.

Remember THERE IS NOTHING SEXIER THAN CHASTE VANILLA SEX BETWEEN A MAN AND HIS WIFE

ps unless it is spanking a tied up schoolgirl.
