      Yes, I know it. And I’ve been argued at, exhaustively, about how “Stranger in a Strange Land” was somehow evidence that Heinlein was more sophisticated, nuanced, and beyond my comprehension than I realized after I said he was a fascist. morshupls

      A story about the very special person who is the most very special and knows things better than anyone else and has lots of triumphant sexual victories while the weak inferiors are both too strong and too weak for him is very sophisticated, nuanced, and beyond my comprehension and is no way indicative of the fascist sympathies of Heinlein. morshupls

          Level 3 Heinlein take: Transition could have saved her

          If only there was no such thing as fascist trans people. The concept still baffles me, but they exist. peppino-why

          Level 3 Heinlein take: Transition could have saved her

          Isn’t the last third of stranger in a strange land just “imagine if i could telepathically jump into the head of the woman i’m having sex with and she would jump into my man-head, and we’d be having sex but i’d be the woman and she’d be the man, that would be very hot and we’d have world peace”

        Hahahha i love it. I’d say “i have to re-read it now” but i have no real desire to re-read that trash even if it gives me ways to dunk on libertarian dorks.

          Randroids tend to have very basic impulses that are so basic that they actually trip me up because I overestimate them sometimes: it really does tend to more often than not be “I am the very important and very special main character, just like in these treats.” ancaptain
