OSC: Tolerate My Intolerance OMG!
"Orson Scott Card Wants Your 'Tolerance' for His Anti-Gay Views."

	Yeah, a lot of that article bugged me but that one stood out particularly as a pile of steaming bullshit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Seconded. Being a fan of stuff produced by horrible people is something that needs to be addressed, but that article did a really poor job of it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Out of curiosity, what else about the article bugged you? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	before I dig it out, do you want a point by point reply or just a general answer? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Just the general will do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	To be fair, that is sort of a dilemma for me as well, especially as far as the younger actors are concerned -- I would love to see them go on to have successful careers; it's just a shame that they're doing it through the adaptation of a work by such a hateful person. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: Reposted to clarify spawn_of_kong 2013-07-15 04:52 am UTC (link)
	Er, perhaps that should be "continue* to have successful careers." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Re: Reposted to clarify sepiamagpie 2013-07-15 04:57 am UTC (link)
	Aye. I mean, if the author was a different person or wasn't actively funding hate, I'd probably go see. But he is who he is and it feels like a diversion tactic, right? (Reply to this)(Parent)
