God damned, mother fucking, modern day, book burners!
 TLDR: Baen is a long time, big time, sci-fi book publisher. Sci-fi, as you all probably know, tends to be a very right-leaning, libertarian-leaning, reading genre. Baen's library tends to run more that way than others. Baen has run a web forum for many years as part of their web presence and some asshole decided to leverage conversations there as the root of a blatant attempt to get Baen de-platformed. Since most of Baen's business is web-based that would kill them. More here: https://monsterhunternation.com/2021/02/16/publishing-house-baen-books-attacked-by-cancel-culture/ and plenty more on the web via the normal search channels. |

I’d still buy from Baen if they had to send me a mimeographed list of new books by snail mail every month.

Those dumb cunts wouldn't know fascism if it punched them in the face....and they were the ones dong the punching. |

I’m not familiar with that author, but I find it ironic that “progressives” constitute the single biggest threat to freedom of speech.

Correia is an outspoken voice, but I think Tom Kratman is the real target of their ire, or at least the sissy manlet that wrote the original article.

This is the Mrs... Scuttlebutt I got on this guy (3rd or 4th hand can't remember at this point) is that he submitted a manuscript to Baen, got rejected, and a got of a burr up his ass for them not recognizing his wonderful work. So he started planning this several years back, hence he had 1 post on the Bar while being a member for several years. Also heard he is big buddies with several of the higher ups at TOR... Not the cool one who was Buddies with Jim Baen (and helped found Baen) and has since retired, but the ones trying to follow in his shoes...

I'm so sick of hearing them throw that word around, it's as beat to death already as racist or nazi. They're zealots and book burners, every one of them. They support violence everytime they cheer on BLM and Antifa, nothing but sheltered hypocrites. |

I've seen worse in the author community. |

We're in the reset now. They will be irrelevant soon. No one will GAF about their SJW issues and marxist outlooks. Feed yore face first!
