I had the Dukes of Hazzard on my wall, not David Cassidy. It was a minute later until I discovered Foreigner but loved them.

Don't know if this counts? The Matrix was written by the Wachowski brothers, who are now the Wachowski sisters.

Christ, I've been confusing Foreigner for Journey. My bad, I blame the 70's for all my problems.

Starring female heros and a gay character? No thanks but exactly the kind of woke "modern" garbage women writers are so expert in. Plus I can't even pronounce the series name so I don't care how many awards were won it's still a FAIL for me.

I think excellent writers should be capable of writing characters who do not map precisely to the author's lived experience. Obviously that goes double for science fiction and fantasy. But there is nothing odd about having female characters or even having women create female characters more often. Statistically, one might expect 10% of characters to be gay.

Have you read John Varley, Cory Doctorow, Richard Kadrey, later Heinlein like Friday?

No I haven't read any of those (early-to-mid Heinlein only, who was a huge misogynist). I agree there is nothing wrong with female characters/gay characters and I do not know if the author recommended does this in excess but the reviews I read did mention "woke politics" so that's a no for me.

My only objection is when writers (and Hollywood does this more than authors) build up female and gay characters at the expense of male or white characters, often portraying straight white men as the epitome of evil and everything that's wrong with society and the future.

No, I prefer a Gene Roddenberry approach: true equality where one's sex, race, skin color, religion etc is never mentioned as anything special. It's just accepted as part of a more cohesive, unifed (and peaceful) future.

Yeah I think I mentally blocked out the whole Sam & Frodo thing.
I wonder if Sam called him 'Mr. Frodo!' when he was getting butt slammed hobbit-style. LOL

(Speaking of which: whatever happened to Anal Hobbit around here??)
