What stuck out to me was how this guy detested anything wholesome. Weather it was wholesome conversation, a wholesome movie, a supportive and loving wife, a family dinner, faithful fans, some spiritual insight on life, even the kindness of giving a strange guest his finest room. How dare he! lol
Wow that was a literary masterpiece of a takedown. Wired should have hired you but then again considering their standards in releasing such an article, you would likely feel insulted to contemplate working for them.
I was enrolled in Sanderson’s class at BYU and I love Sanderson! He is a kind and passionate person who does his best and tries to always help others. He loves his family, his students, and his fans! Idk how anyone could speak so poorly of the guy!
"What has your writing ever done for anyone, Mr. Kehe?" "For you and your work, Mr. Kehe, there were no expectations yet we're still disappointed". Well said!
Hahah, thank you. I kind of wish I had taken a bit more time, as the more I thought, the more things I wanted to say. But I'm, not in the habit of beating a dead horse, so it is what it is.
The algorithm decided to throw this video in my suggestions so I gave it a click. What a politely incisive and insightfully brief takedown! Unfortunately, he's fairly typical of the miserable creature that many modern journalists (or churnalists as my preferred term) are today. They are usually over-educated, spoiled children of the elite class, who relish in the social destruction of people more talented/popular than them; and whose resentment at not being as successful as their station deserves clearly gives them the moral high ground for said destruction - even as pathetically expressed through clickbait-titled and condescending op-eds. "When envy strikes upon a loser" is a perfect summary.
"As I sipped my cuppa-frappa-latte-mocha-ccina and glanced at the Chuck Dickens book I had dismissed to finish this great article, my life's work, one that you are not ready for, because it is far too brilliant- that's when I realized Sanderson is a madman, a psychopath. A nerd, and a disgusting, casual, and nice one. Who would pay for their child to learn from him at a university? My mummy and daddy certainly wouldn't. That's why they funded my 9 year degree. I adjusted my ray bans, fastened my cardigan, and reflected on how glad I was to finally be out of the presents of people who are inferior to me." - Jason, probably.
You know, I'm jealous of the man who wrote this article. I've watched some of Sanderson's lectures before. I used his tips last year when I tried NaNoWriMo for the first time. And I can tell that he is a good guy who's trying his best to give people the stories and characters they want. I'm jealous that this spiteful shitstain got to go over there, spent days in the man's house, ate with him, talked with him directly and even went to one of his conventions, and he wasted all of what should have been a wonderful experience. He couldn't write more than 4 thousand words in five months. I write more than that in a week. Never mind the fact it reads like something a A.I might spit out. An awesome week wasted on a bad person.
I disagree. I think the majority of the 4000-word article was not about Sanderson but about Jason Kehe himself. I only think it took 5 months because that's how long it took to edit it down to that length, considering how much more of the article could have been cut out by a competent editor.
Wired was nto really smart.. they decided to alienate all their potential intersection audience with the MSOT SUCCESSFULL WRITER OF CURRENT TIMES.. yeah great work.. If I was in the board of the company.. I would want heads rolling.
Why, you are a smarter person than I am, that's for sure. I wish I had had the foresight not to click either... To summarise the article: 1. "Sanderson is extremely Mormon," 2. "He makes lots of money but nobody knows who he is" 3. "He can't write" 4. "His books are young-adult-ish never ending something something " 5. "He's boring" 6. "He likes his own works too much and is too excited about them" 7. "The people at his convention were a bunch of smelly losers" 8. Oh, yeah, "Sanderson is a weirdo".This was stated verbatim repeatedly. This barely scratches the surface, but doesn't convey any of the actual vitriol with which this hit piece was written.
best i can recall, the author mocks sanderson's kid for adding salt to fancy Chinese noodles. that's literally the level of put down in the wired author's mind. like, "oh, such commoners, don't they know you are not supposed to add salt to these particular Chinese noodles! I'm from San Francisco and I know all about......". It's literally at that level. Making fun of a kid for eating what a kid likes. It was such a condescending hit piece.
@@toddzilla1236 i hope people who see how weird and pathetic and ragebait this article is, hopefully this is the worst Sanderson has to weather in his career.
I can see why you are upset about the WoT Amazon show. Matter of fact I am quite upset about it as well - it was a mockery of this great story. With that being said, I don't know how much Sanderson could've defended it. He was a consultant for the first 6 episodes of the show, not an executive producer. Nor does he hold the rights to the WoT IP. A consultant holds no power beyond having the opportunity to express opinion, which the producers and screen writers can then either take into consideration or ignore at will. Now, I'm not saying that he attempted to stop them from making these moronic decisions - I don't have enough information to judge that, I'm just saying that I don't know that he could've done anything. The whole thing could've only been prevented by whoever currently holds the rights to the WoT property and sold the screen rights to Red Eagle Entertainment. They should've negotiated stricter rules for sticking to the source material, imo.
@@libraryunbounded :) all of your points are legit. We argued them a ton on youtube channels when show first came out. Brandon couldnt have stopped the train. But he didnt need to cheer it on and defend it. That was my problem. The main person to blame is Harriet (roberts wife). She is the only person to blame But back to topic not trying to take focus off dumb article. It was poorly written and the writer is moronic. Flip side Brandon is a weirdo, I dont like his books outside w.o.t, and it annoys me he signs stuff while in interviews. I dont begrudge his success and I wish him more. Im just not a fan. Have a great weekend
Agreed, I feel like he targeted Sanderson because of his faith from the start. I'm shock that it got published. It wasn't really about Sanderson, it was about the author being disappointed Sanderson wasn't this evil religious stereotype.
I get it, the author of the article hates Mormons. The author went on and on and on denigrating their faith. Now imagine if the author were to write a hit piece, attacking someone because they were Jewish or Muslim. He would be fired immediately, but Mormons are easy targets. It's OK to attack and denigrate Mormons.
VERY well said. As I posted elsewhere about this topic: This article paints a fantastically detailed picture of a misguided, spiteful, miserable man. It also mentions Brendon Sanderson.
Thanks for standing up for Brandon and for religious freedom. Brandon is a good guy and a good writer, anyone who says differently is selling something.
It is a hit piece from a self confessed loser. A regular honest article wouldn't have had nearly as many views. Negativity sadly gets more clicks.... Charitably, its written by a person who cannot admit to themselves that fantasy is literature and they like it and Sanderson, even though his prose is somewhat bland. He could mention, why so many people love his work: for the excellent plots, awesome characters and spectacular world-building. His religion is less prominent in his work than Tolkien and non-existent compared to C S Lewis, but I guess he had to find some angle to justify this mess of an article
I personally don't like Sanderson's books, but this article was just bizarre. I'm really just at a loss as to where people get the confidence and certitude to write an article like Kehe did.
I actually didn't know who Sanderson was before I stumbled onto the article and now I am a fan of Sanderson after reading his response. What a classy man, I could not have done the same.
Shit! I heard that slap from across an ocean. Maybe someone should check on WIRED and that “journalist” see if they’re still breathing. Well done! Your response is far better written than that cringy, bitter, condescending, pretentious hit piece.
Thank you, I am flattered 🙂 I am sure they couldn't care less what I, of all people, have to say, but I hope the community's reaction as a whole has caused them to reconsider their "journalistic practices"
You're definitely right about the goal, though I'm not sure as to whether it was successful. I think the author mostly managed to show who he is, if anything.
Just subscribed. What an eloquent and savage takedown or a disgusting article. No one would be upset if he critiqued Sanderson's writing or storytelling, but this was a pathetic hit piece, that honestly reflects worse on the author's character than Sanderson's.
but his prose isn't good apparently and that is all that matters... I doubt many authors are going to agree to let that guy interview them after that article that took him 5 months to write.
I have no dog in this fight. I've never read Sanderson's work. But I know that no author has 100% universal appeal. I'm not especially interested in the work of Q. Terrantino, but I see his devotees slobbering all over themselves in their efforts to bring about his coronation. This opinion, that opinion. Who cares? I enjoy some writing and not other writing. Who cares? My opinion, your opinion. Who cares? Live and let live. Oops! Did I just do a Bible on you? "For as much as it lies with you, live at peace with all people." Peace Out, neighbors!
Thank you so much, Teresa! The apartment is lovely indeed and I was so lucky to get it 😊🌅 But I did see a part of your backyard the other day in your video and it looked so lovely 😍 I find gardening so peaceful and enjoyable - I grew up in a small town where everyone had to garden to be able to feed their family (late communism was a hungry period here) and ever since I have loved doing it. Even when I only have a couple of square feet to work with 😊 Oh, I can't put in words how panicked I was. I hadn't slept and eaten anything in 2 days until we found her
Sanderson does give 10% of his income to the LDS Church, which is working awfully hard to roll back rights for LGBTQ people. I wish the author of this article had asked Brandon Sanderson about that instead of sneering at Sanderson and his kids for the high crime of putting salt on their Japanese food.
The church worked with LGBT groups in Utah to propose and support a state law that outlawed discrimination for employment and housing on the basis on sexual attraction or sexual identity back in 2013, and would be in substance identical to the federal ruling in _Obergefell_.
I disagree with this video. If you are going to refute the things he said, you should at least have the decency to use words the “journalist” can actually understand
You broke your rule "just this once" because someone had audacity to say bad things about a millionaire. I feel like people are making this copy and paste booktube video about the article to gain views and less about defending him. If it is defending him, I can't fault the author of how god-like Sanderson is with this outrage of defense from the community
I can see where you're coming from with this and I have no issues with people expressing their opinion. My issue, and I am sure the issue of the majority of people who criticised the article, is with the way the article is written. As to whether Sanderson is God-like, I am not sure where you found a fault with him here. The article was written before the outrage with the clear purpose to create outrage - a self fulfilling prophecy. Sanderson didn't ask for it. Whether people make videos for views, well, I guess the point of a video on youtube is to be watched. I have no doubts about my own reasoning. And since you clearly doubt that I broke the rule "just once" you can go ahead and look through my videos - there aren't that many of them, but enough to show you whether I spoke the truth. And if your issue is with people who make things just to get views/clicks, look no further than the article that created all this outrage to begin with. 🙂
I’ve watched a fair few of the response videos to this article. Everyone put their own flavor on it, but this one has the sharpest, most deftly forged wit of the bunch, I think Honestly the algorithm is so hard on creators, I take moments like this to find new people I may enjoy. You are allowed to not tolerate any part of this or any video, though. Just letting you know what I perceive to be its virtues ^_^

He clearly went there driven not by journalistic curiosity but by the hunger of a parasite.
