At least they only have 1/3 of the word count that Stardust1138 had.

Oh God, don’t remind me. 😉

But it’s interesting you brought him up, because I remember he was a massive Rick Worley fan too. Why does that guy have so many loyal followers? Why do 4 hour apologia sessions for some of the most hated creators in history seem appealing to anyone?

They’re natural contrarians, no matter the morality involved. A lot of prequel fans feel resentment for years of abuse those movies took in pop culture, so it’s natural that it sometimes comes out in bitter ways. Worley takes it a step further by adding in Woody Allen and JKR.

Similarly, I do remember Stardust giving the “but she (the victim) forgave him” excuse when talking about Polanski. But that’s a whole separate can of worms.
