RazorFist has the details, so here's the short version. Check out his video here for more.
Blaine Pardoe has been writing fiction for the Battletech universe for 37 years, and he's just been canceled by a woke mob. "Faith McClosky," a 40-ish year old man and convicted criminal posing as a female nurse online for wokeist sympathy, has ginned up a mob to complain to Pardoe's publisher and wormtongue them into dropping the accomplished author for having so-called unacceptable political opinions.
What was Blaine's unconscionable opinion? Pretty much bog-standard American conservatism.
Blaine's written a short article about his position that can be found here. A highlight is when his publisher claims this is killing sales, then says he doesn't care about sales when Blaine notes sales aren't down. Give it a read.
