Why do I read the comments on some articles?
So tired of people automatically saying about both Orson Scott Card and Stephenie Meyer that their being Mormons explains anything they don't like about them. There are plenty of Mormons who manage NOT to actively work to dehumanize sexual minorities and take away what few rights they have (OSC) or who manage NOT to create characters who are horrible role models for young people (SM). I choose not to pay money for anything these two have created because of the agenda OSC supports and because I don't agree with a number of things SM does in her work, not because they're Mormons. And don't even get me started on the idea that not supporting an artist for ideological reasons is "stealing" from them, blacklisting them or censoring them.
(This post stemming from an article which had a bunch of Facebook comments in which people repeatedly kept saying, "Oh, OSC is Mormon, he's a cultist. That explains why..." yada yada yada. And then people responding by saying, "But you're a Catholic, so you're also a cultist, yada yada yada..." Gah.)
