Also huge variation in how bad it is

No problem! I’ll keep expanding it because unfortunately shitty behavior doesn’t stop. And yeah I also found it hilarious when I was compiling the list. “This person was rude to people who gave their book a bad review! And this one KILLED PEOPLE??” Either way, shit behavior puts them on the naughty list. Also, some of this is just alleged behavior, but some is public/well-known (like JKR)

Also! I realized I forgot one! 71. Frank Herbert: homophobia, cultural appropriation

Yeah, the number of murders is WILD. By the way: Danielle Lori is hardcore MAGA, LJ Shen is also a bully, and K. Webster has that weird 18-year age gap in that Cinderella trilogy.

I feel like Brandon Sanderson has evolved in his views though. One cannot really fault someone for past beliefs if they didn’t really know any better and that’s how they were raised. The important part is that they educated themselves and changed for the better

Also Jay Asher for sexual misconduct.

That’s a good point! I’ll remove Brandon from the list. He has been doing a lot better

She’s also misogynistic asf, and completely objectifies the Native American body and their culture.
