I loved enders game as a kid. I see it as a sign of growth that I now realize how cringe that was.

Aneb@lemmy.world 6 days agoLmao I just started reading some of Card’s series, notably Wakers and Ender’s Game. And there’s a lot of misogyny and Conservative ideas rattling in his ramblings.
I’ve heard good things about Earthsea so I’ll look into her other works

I’ll admit that I actually do really like Card’s writing, and I don’t deny that Ender’s Game (and Ender’s Shadow and Speaker for the Dead!) are great books. I read them a lot when I was younger and don’t specifically recall any hidden conservatism, especially because he seemed to have multiple viewpoints in the books. But the man himself is a piece of bigoted trash, so I would only buy used books from him now.
