how do i put this

i dont want to read or support stuff written by a giant racist or a giant homophobe or w/e. im not gonna shout it from the streets and i can see why people would want to analyze that stuff, but i just don't Want To. i realize it's kind of impossible to tell in a lot of cases, and that in a lot of cases this stuff is subjective, but something like ender's game where Orson Scott Card has gone on giant rants about how gays are ruining the world, makes me not want to read his stuff.

That's fine, but other people don't connect an authors views to their works like that, or are even willing to read things written by people they disagree with.

It's not like either way is wrong or right, it just seems like something where people should be like, "I don't wanna read that guy's stuff. So I won't. Y'all can. I'm not gonna talk about it cause I don't read it. Bye."

yeah basically.

that said i kind of hate the 'disagree with' thing, because there's a difference between reading a guy who you disagree with on, say, how to create an effective and self-sustaining government, and reading a guy who you disagree with on whether black people are human.

I mean, I haven't watched the subbed trailer but you hear two distinct male voices, so one of them kind of has to be the protag.

it could just be something for the trailers though, who knows.
The other voice might be the Tanuki guy. I wouldn't be able to recognize if it's the protag, though. Right now the protagonist has two sound clips on the Japanese site, which could either be dialogue, or his battle cries.

Only for a time, I thought; I may be misremembering though.

In any case, I can't really see him as gone for good within the context of the series, and a lot of the promo material seems to be teasing his return or revival.

please forget everything in that book and read 1491 to fill your head again

diamond is a eurocentric historian

I've read enough to recognize Eurocentricism when I see it, and I feel I can largely glean good and interesting things even in its presence. That said, I didn't think GG&S was more than a bit Eurocentric. It was greatly concerned with convincing the reader that Europeans are not uniquely awesome, but other than that oblique Eurocentricism, it mostly dealing with meetings of non-European peoples let him explore things more evenly. 1491 looks interesting, but synopses don't seem to disagree with Diamond, merely refine his answers. I'll check it out.
