      A data point: Farah Mendelsohn, who many of your friends would certainly call SJW, is writing a fully crowdfunded nonfiction on Heinlein's work, which is critical but not a hit job if her research tweets of rereading all the books are an indicator.

      Now Asimov would probably be disinvited in the modern, but that's because he *notoriously* got handsy and grabby with women, which is not a privilege you have just because you wrote good and important books.

      Concur. He was a creep (nice when I met him, but all the stories agree).

      Asimov famously described /himself/ as a lech. Back in the day that was viewed as a kind of mischief; not "proper" behavior but harmless and fun. Times have changed, and we now give more thought to whether lechery is mutually welcomed.

      Yep. I am just not a fan of "would so and so be allowed at con" when the world is different than it was. I can't picture RAH trying to game the Hugos after reading Have Spacesuit, but no one actually knows, really. Whereas Asimov is "the world moved on" on con behavior.

      In the age of #metoo Ellison's stunt of grabbing Connie Willis wouldn't have passed so lightly. A lot is different. Would Walter Breen have gotten away with it now? I hope not.

      As for RAH he got a Retro Hugo nod just this year, so it's not as if anyone is memory holing his work completely. Though I doubt Farnham's would get (or deserve) the nod.

      Farnham's wasn't good when it was new

      LOL SAME I despise it when people make that book a hill to die on because it's shitty.

      I'm a huge RAH fan - have the Virginia Integral Edition. But, with the distance of a few decades, I can acknowledge that he had a BUNCH of clunkers. Almost everything after Orphans of the Sky (except Moon is a Harsh Mistress) is mediocre at best.

          When you write like a machine like he did, and specifically to maximize profit, there are going to be clunkers in the mix. His prose is workmanlike in general, but he had good enough ideas to make that work. And MOON is brilliant, and more subversive than credited as.

          In 1966 it's pretty telling to have your brown narrator locked up for miscegenation & portray the judge as a bigot, with Loving v. VA not yet decided.
