Oh my god. I have long thought that Terry Goodkind was creepy and/or on crack, so imagine my delight when I check the blog of Kagerou's creator to find him taking a baseball bat to Terry's cracked out crack logic. Read it here, or below. Whatever floats your barge.



"Haters only want to know about my flashlight. :(
TERRY GOODKIND WAXES CRUSTY, CLAIMS OWN WRITING IS MORALLY SUPERIOR TO WTC DISASTER.


"The men who flew airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon had heroes. They did not believe that what they were doing was evil; they believed they were doing good. Why were they willing to die in order to kill indiscriminately? Why did they believe that what they were doing was good? What constituted evil in their minds? Who were their heroes?

Why are my heroes different than the heroes of people like that? To answer those sorts of questions requires that I convey intellectual information.

Those are the kinds of abstract concepts I write about which are absent from fantasy*, as such. I have no desire to tell simplistic stories of good and evil driven by mysticism and magic. My novels instead, involve the nature of and projection of values."

...

"So I must now follow some unstated laws of writing - I must know my place - because I've been mindlessly labeled a "fantasy" author? That, my friends, is bigotry."




So fantasy is a little bit like 9/11 only without a plot, and books being categorized based on content rather than intent makes you a victim of The Man? Super stuff, Terry.


This gives me an idea, though. As of today, Kagerou is never again to be referred to a fantasy comic. It's a bunny. Why? Well, because I like bunnies. And honestly, liking bunnies is MUCH different from, say, running over preschoolers. Right?

I CAN TOO RANDOMLY REDEFINE AN ENTIRE GENRE IF I WANT! SO HA ON YOU!





*Attention Mr. Goodkind: George Martin just left a flaming bag of poo on your doorstep."


Edit: 

And he appears on FANDOM_WANK too! My day is freakin' MADE. I say we make this into a drinking game. Take a shot every time someone comments about how much Wizard's First Rule sucked ass.
