These are just the themes I see in his work. Why do you think I am trying to hang him for his politics? That's really shallow and I appreciate the check and it's not what I am doing.
You ask is it possible he or someone close to him was abused.
Sure.
Given the amount of his work I've read, I am totally comfortable hanging him out to dry based on his subject choices and the ever present demonic entities in his work. Something is broken within him. [This goes for Martin, too, btw (not the demonic, just the pedo).]
Over what has been learned the past few years (you may have known how deep this crap goes for a while - I did not) do you really think surface level is as deep as it gets?
Sorry, I do this sometimes. it's unintentional, but I try to state my position and it comes off like I'm accusing someone else of something. No, I don't think you're doing it, I'm just explaining why I'm hesitant, lol. (I also tend to over/under explain simultaneously).
No, I don't necessarily think it's surface level, but it's so easy to fall into the trap of hating someone for their politics and assuming the worst of them for that reason, that I fear falling into said trap.
Not to mention groupthink is a powerful drug...
No worries, fren.
I agree with you. I see this a lot but kinda in reverse - our guy/gal can do no wrong and a blind eye is turned to what should be called out.
When we do this, we become hypocrites.
I get why you are hesitant.
FWIW, I am trying to move myself into questioning my judgement less. Time and again I have found that my initial call, insight, perception, whatever to be dead on, but I have been cowed by someone(s) making a reasonable call to logic and alternative considerations because no one wants to be unfair and closed minded. I think this very reasonableness is one of the tactics used against us to confuse and slow us down. On a spiritual level, we become so confused that we start calling evil good and good evil or can't call out evil for what it is.
I am working on trusting my first instinct.
Which is probably why I got a bit defensive. Sorry. Please forgive me.
Please don't read any of the above as me thinking I'm never wrong or don't make mistakes. I do. I'm fallible. The above is meant to be more in line with the books - Gift of Fear; or Blink.
nah, we all try to work on our faults.
You have a point about reluctance to engage, I can definitely see that in myself (bit of a doormat, lol)
