Re: Where's the racism and homophobia in WOT? darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 11/01/2016 06:11:37 PM


I don't know if it's that rampant. There's a lot of supporting factors, the monastery-like exclusion, a silent understanding from the sisters, an anti-male vibe for girls emulating Red sisters.. But yeah, for a fantasy series, WOT was pretty damn chaste. Like Mat, he had a lot of sexcapades between the lines, but going by the text it was all just "kissing and dancing".

Nearly every single Aes Sedai we meet seems to have had a pillow friend or knows of girls that were pillow friends as Novices/Accepted. It's even called out in several instances in the Companion with a special note that people now "exclusively prefer men". It's very common place in the Tower even if the writing itself is very understated (i.e. G-rated) the jist of what's going on is pretty clear.

Domani Drag Queen in the White Tower ... Aran'gar watch out!

What Logain quote are you referencing? *NM* darius_sedai - 11/01/2016 06:07:57 PM 860 Views
Logain stated that Rand is stronger than him because he makes larger Gateways *NM* kHz1000 - 11/01/2016 06:24:34 PM 835 Views

Just because Randland is Deist does not make it deity-free. Joel - 14/02/2016 01:59:58 PM 1691 Views
It is better to say there is no organized religion fionwe1987 - 14/02/2016 10:12:35 PM 1538 Views
