Re: PC trashing of Weird Fiction

I do think if he were better known (only a matter of time) he would be blacklisted from many anthologies for his views. His indignation isn't entirely groundless. I just wish he'd learn to focus it instead of believing in some global leftist conspiracy, which in the wake of Trump and Brexit doesn't hold any water.
There's so much I could say about this, if only I were free to speak. But... I hear a noise at the door as of some vast, collective body of the indoctrinated lumbering against it. God, that hand! The window! The window! The Overton Window!!!

Absolutely candid, carefree, but straightforward speech becomes possible for the first time when one speaks of the highest." - Friedrich Schlegel
