think the show went woke.

one of the books written in the early 90s had a trans character lmao. they're gender essentialist as shit and even that mormon guy that finished the series wrote better women than Jordan, but lol. lmao even.

Was Jordan your typical "she boobed, boobily" sort of author?

[-] falgscode@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

more like 'she ditzed, ditzily'. I guess it's the same thing

Also each woman is even more beautiful and buxom than the last

One of the Forsaken gets reincarnated as a woman right?

[-] falgscode@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

yeah, and gendered correctly after that. Jordan shouldn't get credit for this, and it's not necessarily woke, he's just cribbing norse mythology, also not woke.

but in the modern social context the books were written in, not including any jokes/misgendering of the character is notable. also notable that the character that gets this treatment is a villain, and it's a forced feminization done by ~~satan~~saitan as punishment for failure
