Most ridiculous thing I have seen this weekend: the "gender critical" brigade on Twitter trying to tell Rhianna Pratchett and Neil Gaiman that Terry Pratchett would have been on their side. (I saw "ridiculous", but also "infuriating".)
RIGHT I just. Cannot. Such a totally absurd reading of his work (it's been years since I read any, but between the trans characters in Monstrous Regiment and the dwarves they really haven't a leg to stand on), and sooo grim and fucked up to try and ventriloquise a dead writer to the extent of telling his loved ones they're wrong, he totally would've been a bigot!
