Grand Fromage posted:It's there, especially in Iron Council. I don't know why people bitch about it, especially given the setting. It's clearly based on the late 1800s, with both the rear end in a top hat industrialists and the anarchists/communists taken to larger-than-life extremes. Not being able to handle a book written by an author who has views you don't agree with strikes me as bizarre too, but whatever. I was a little jarred by it at the beginning, but then I thought about how many sf/f books are implicitly or explicitly on the other side of the political spectrum.

nosleep posted:There was also dwarf rape and dwarf pedophelia/torture/masturbation in a book called "Trial of Flowers" by Jay Lake which interestingly I bought because I wanted something in the same ballpark as Bas-Lag novels. It was set in a city with a cool name (The City Imperishable) and seemed to have cool main characters. That was an ok book except for the worst of the dwarf parts. Avoid the sequel though.
