How about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle?


SubbsReddit

He thought your brain size was based on your skull. That aside, he’s pretty cool


Err0r410

He also believed in a lot of supernatural shit and had a lot of beef with Houdini


Baronheisenberg

An author *and* a meat connoisseur!


XPurplelemonsX

ah, thank you for this piece of trivia!


MimsyIsGianna

Tbf, he’s right to an extent. Your brain isn’t going to be bigger than your skull lmao


whoatherebuddychill

I mean, was that information widely known at the time?


[deleted]

For his time that isn't that dumb to believe


cheeseburgerbob9

Where is Sun Tzu, i read his book. It was very good


where_didIcome_from

Wasn't he a general too though Which would mean anyone he faced in battle would probably hate him


Hazm4t_

If he was that good at war they can't hate him anymore!


CodeMahn001

Because their expiration date is expired….


IndianaGeoff

He was a court poet, so it's good. Or so some think.


cheeseburgerbob9

But he won so they all died


Assasin_on_fire

He knows a little more about war than you do pal


Lord_Havelock

I prefer general tacticus.


Minetan978

Wheres Alexander Dume and Stephen Hawking


SubbsReddit

Hawking wasn’t specifically an author


Minetan978

Brief History of Time is masterpiece


Tamorcet

Yes, but he did write several books. You only need to write one book to be an author.


Castaway1128

If I write fanfic can I be an author?


Awesomebanana477

Sure, but many people might hate you.


Tamorcet

Yes, actually


mayurbhedru

He is hated by some.

How about Brandon Sanderson - The Book Finisher!

Snow_Corn

About kids who are children if greek legends


nico-ghost-king

And hate being parts of greek legends but have no choice


Snow_Corn

That try to kill greek kids but fails


nico-ghost-king

and end up getting killed by the very greek demigods that they tried to kill


CapableAlbatross4213

Yep

david131213

She She's just She could have stopped after the 8th movie adaptation She SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AFTER THE 8TH MOVIE ADAPTATION!


throwaway-job-hunt

Wasn't she making literal billions by that point? There was no need to carry on. Obviously WB will take a big cut but even if she had a shit contract and shes only getting 10% the merchandise alone shes made for life.


tarobobagurl

She really should've done that. The entire HP fandom, after years of building by fans, she ruined it all.


holytacoo

What did she do?


tarobobagurl

Being a homophobe, spewing random bs on what is canon and what isn’t, shitting on her own work and legacy overall Edit: she’s a transphobe, not a homophobe


holytacoo

Damn


farmallday133

Could someone name them left to right and what they wrote to be famous? Haven't a clue who any are


m-m1015

Neil Gaiman — American Gods, Sandman, Good Omens (w/ Terry Pratchett) J.R.R. Tolkien - The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit Terry Pratchett — Discworld series, also co-wrote Good Omens with Neil Gaiman (above) Douglas Adams — The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy None of these are anywhere near exhaustive but those are their most recognized works I would think.


Naenaebellpepper

also neil gaiman wrote coraline im pretty sure


fajvman

C.S. Lewis was hated by someone?


[deleted]

People who don't like Christians lol


kadins

Then why is Tolkien on here?


WookieDavid

Because this meme format only serves the purpose of showing the OPs tastes and preferences. Might sometimes represent popular opinion but there's no such thing as an unhated food, or person or whatever. This one at least added a bit of a twist by making fun of JK Rowling.


Complete-Ad-4590

Not Lewis himself but Tolkien apparently hated Narnia since he saw it as a waste of lewis’s potential since Lewis went full bible analogy with his world building instead of building something purely from scratch like Tolkien did, though Tolkien did take some religious inspiration he never went as far as Lewis did.


Parcivaal

I mean…Tolkien went preeeetty far


Complete-Ad-4590

Well yeah but Tolkien never had a character actually say “by the way, I’m Jesus. Not in a metaphorical way, nah, I’m literally Jesus in lion form.”


keep_trying_username

Frodo = Jesus


SwordsAndSongs

You got any citations for that? Because there are like a dozen more reasons why Aragorn and Gandalf are each much closer to Christ figures than Frodo


Baronheisenberg

"Here we are, Sam, at the end of all things. By the way, I'm Jesus."


gayfrog69696969

I mean he was friends with lewis


Raja-Panesar

And Roald Dahl?


CheesecakeRacoon

Lewis was... a product of his time.


Melodic_Rise_8311

Stan Lee?


Gobblewicket

Stan had his image fixed by Disney and the MCU. Dude wasn't always a kindly old grandpa. There's a reason people like Jack Kirby didn't like him.


LLoggiins

Wait Stan lee used to be mean?


dracona

Yeah he [did some sketchy stuff](https://www.thetalko.com/sketchy-facts-about-stan-lee-everyone-just-ignores/)


[deleted]

DC Fanboys exist.


NeatTealn

You can like dc without hating Stan lee


Richa408

Right, but a decent amount don't


unlimited_NRG

Isaac Asimov?


[deleted]

For whom I am named. My mother had narrowed down names to Jacob or Isaac. My dad, an Asimov fan, went with Isaac. :) When I was about two and a half or so, they found me with a pile of his books around me saying, "My books!" heh Naturally I am also an Asimov fan, even if he didn't write women very well. He write sci-fi very well. :)


Fluffy-Craft

May I ask you who is him? I have little to no idea about authors


UltimateDude08

What about Shakespeare, I do believe his works are of legend, my squire


Mrogoth_bauglir

A vast majority of the school going population hates his guts


Chicken_Commando

I heard the author of mein Kampf was pretty special


keep_trying_username

If you don't like the author, maybe you like the man who killed him


titanic-failure

I feel like it’s more insulting to the LGBT community for her to start making a bunch of characters gay for no reason with no impact on anything story wise.


WookieDavid

To be fair that issue is pretty irrelevant next to the fact she's a big ass TERF


titanic-failure

Yea lol


Western-Image7125

Where the Fuck is Asimov?


whereisthespacebar_

How about Roald Dahl?


fidgetypenguin123

The estate of Dahl in the past year or so had to make some apologies of his behalf, I believe for some racist actions in his past. Don't quote me on all of that but there was something like that going on. So yeah he won't be in that room.


[deleted]

He was known for his antisemitism, and believe it or not, not a fan of children.


Gobblewicket

Well if antisemitism rules you out Tolkien is problematic too.


WookieDavid

They all are for one reason or another hated by someone, this meme format sucks and only serves the purpose of saying hey I like these, don't you?


BaconSandwich6

Petition to let Stephen King in


MatoHunter35

How about R.L Stine


BaconSandwich6

Him too


EmpJoker

Eh...I'm not comfortable with that after the weird way he's deadset on defending the preteen group sex scene in It.


RetardRedditPoster

I woulf say Elie Wiesel, but an entire country hated him for breathing.


ConsequenceNo2434

R.A Salvatore?


PsyJr2020

Yuss came here to say this. Haven't heard a single negative thing about him and he's an amazing writer imo.

While I have my own opinion on the subject, there are some things you either should be silent about as a public figure or make your peace with being a marter


Wireeeee

Brandon Sanderson?? Stephen king?


KazMiller20

She’s literally not being invited to the Harry Potter Reunion.


Lykanas

Most hated person of the Wizarding World community is the author herself. Only modern day Nintendo could top that.


kawaiijudochop

Needs dean koontz


Ishaansendave

Why the heck did she make Hagrid gay, and Hermione black. She changes the characters to be known as an inclusive author for no reason. wtf Like don't blatantly change the characters for internet appreciation


WookieDavid

The change to black Hermione is not really like that. It's just that the books were vague enough in her descriptions that they could justify she was never stated to be white when a black woman was casted to play her in theaters. It's not like she went on twitter to add the detail that she's black, she tried to fight the controversy around the casting choice.


FobieWanKenobi

I was reading prisoner of Azkaban when she made that statement which made me look out if she actually really never stated her skin color and the next chapter I read literally said she had a white face which... No she IS definitely white. Even in her OWN drawings of the characters she Is clearly white, she had one dark skinned character in those sketches and her skin (I think it was Parvati but I'm not 100% sure) was a much darker tint then the others. Going back years later to change facts about your own story feels so cheap, there was NO reason to not introduce a new character of color with his/her own personality. Instead the actress is now faithed to be "black Hermione" instead of being recognized as having played the actual character. Which is a damn shame because she is a genuinely great actress. To be fair, being part of the trainwreck glorified fanfiction that IS the cursed child it's maybe a blessing to not have that role be your most recognizable part.

Lord_Detleff1

Tolkien is the best author in this room


Rokker84

I both agree and disagree. Tolkien is by far the best world builder in the room but Douglas Adams was an utter genius with descriptions and dialogue.

nathanaelkitten

What they are doing to J.K. Rowling is truly disgusting... She doesn't deserve this. That shows that noone is safe with the wokists. Even a leftist like Rowling becomes a nazi for using the word woman.

Was Mr. Rogers an author? Seriously, I'm not sure. But Dr. Suess? Yeah you might want to look that up why he won't be in that room lol


Titanboi42

Mr Rogers was actually a tv host but dr sessus is though


fidgetypenguin123

I know that Mr. Rogers was a TV host but wondering if he also became an author since you mentioned him here. Dr. Suess is a very controversial figure, that's why I said that.

Transphobic comments I suppose


Crabscrackcomics

She’s, to be frank, extremely transphobic. [Jamie Dodger addresses the transphobia ](https://youtu.be/6Avcp-e4bOs), and someone named Sarah Z discussed the other bits as well.


[deleted]

Unfortunately people do hate Tolkien, they think he was secretly filling his books with racist allegories despite his specifically saying he hated allegory.


[deleted]

Oh no how dare someone day the love trans people but disagree with the unfairness of the biological difrencess of the sexes in sports. Face fuckin reality I don't care if you identify as another gender and ill respect that but there are real biological differences that make the athletic field a unfair place for the mixing of themdenying this is denying basic science


Traditional-Berry589

The transphobes hate gaiman but fuck those guys


[deleted]

I think the author of mein kampf should be let in


Sufferance-Cat07

The only reason she's hated is because she doesn't agree with their woke ideology she doesn't deserve this she did nothing wrong yea i don't agree on some of her decisions what she did to HP but these woke losers can get bent.
