Are we talking about the same guy? The general view on Brandon Sanderson is that he’s not an extremely gifted technical writer. He’s commonly said to have some of the most basic prose. Like you can like his World building and all that but I mean the writing itself is just about a step above pedestrian really. I don’t think that’s a contentious Topic at all.
Nah man. I don’t even think hardcore fans are like that. Hell I got like a dozen of his books on my shelf right now and I think his dialogue is downright cringey. Dude is a cookie cutter writer. I’ve been on his fan forums I’ve watched his YouTube videos, I never seen nothing like that.
If you’ve encountered that kind of person that’s not your normal hardcore fan. You’ve encountered some like hyper psychotic Ultra Fringe group of people. Utterly minute.
Sorry I should have said Fanboy or something maybe? The people I know who are obsessed with his shit are the same people who are like dude you gotta listen to this band, they’re called tool. And I’m like yeah they’re cool. Only to find out I apparently just didn’t get it.
(Don’t get me wrong, tool is great. But they didn’t invent math rock or anything. That’s just an example.)
