Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

      No. He was a misogynistic piece of crap that wrote morally questionable material that was also disrespectful to his assistants, illustrators and fans.

      Allegedly, the “good” and the “kind” were stolen during the Great Battle of the Terry’s, where one Terry used the “good” to build a Temple, while the other Terry with a meteor sword used the “kind” to empower actual quality fiction.

        Don’t forget all the blatant copying from other authors like Robert Jordan. Or refusing to call his work fantasy because he was an Objectivist and Mommy Rand said fantasy was a worthless genre, even going so far as to kill off a huge number of non-human characters off-screen in a later book so people couldn’t point at the creatures like dragons as evidence.
