yeah i'd rather he just not mention it. The pandering makes it worse. Like we know what his actual beliefs are, we know BYU used to practice electroshock therapy on gay students. I'd rather he keep it entirely to himself. What he's done instead is weirdly grotesque in its logic.

"stronger beliefs" that hit me, cause what I've always disliked most about Sanderson is his relentless pandering. Man has no spine. He's an extremely active establishment mormon, teaching post at BYU and everything, but he bends over backwards to please LGBT+ and allies in his books.
Its weird that that bothers me, cause I'm pro LGBT, but its like... you know when someone tries too hard to get you to like them? That's Brandon Sanderson

You should manage corporate social media accounts. You have the ideological spine for it.

they still encourage students to snoop on and report any gayness they can.
he doesn't support anyone but the church, to which he pays millions in tithing money to maintain his premium membership and teaching post, and a chunk of his readership would ditch him if he was no longer in good standing with the church.
he's a bubbly fake piece of shit, the utah archetype.
