Yes, forward the microaggresions!

yup. We've already seen generations unclear on the concept;.

You can fuck and have kids years before you actually stop growing and developing.

Chameleon isn't even slutty, she's just really easy when she's stupid.

I have a sister who recently graduated from Oberlin and is definitely Obertarded, and she used to read him pre-college. I'd love to hear her comments on his writing now.

Piers Anthony and early 90s adventure game seems like it should have had a good result. Never played it, though.

The Adept series was probably his least rapey series, too. And half the characters spent all their time naked and worked as prostitutes.

this does need a roald dahl mention here

STOP REMINDING ME OF THESE DETAILS

While the sexual problems flew over my head as a 12 year old (I mean, who wouldn't want to bang a 14 year old, asks 12 year old me), the terrible writing stood out even when I was a kid.

Yeah, because underage sex and rape and such aren't staples in Incarnations or Space Tyrant or Mode. Can't remember it in Apprentice Adept, but I'm pretty sure there's a bunch of demon rape/attempted rape.

Ha, that was the first one I didn't read, as (as mentioned above) my junior high stopped carrying his new books when they saw that title.

And while we're on the subject of panties, how about Anthony and the panties of high school aged girls?

What's creepier is that he apparently likes them illegally young in years, but physically developed beyond those years. Knew a 12 year old when I was in middle school he would have loved.

Yeah, I always felt like his ideas would have done better written by someone else, even when I was reading him as a kid.

oh my god. I had forgotten that. Fuck you for reminding me. I was free, damn it, free!

I would not be surprised to learn he knows a lot about local age of consent laws.

a female character is transformed into a male, and she gets so overcome by testosterone or whatever that she just wants to fuck fuck fuck and I think she's even about to rape someone when she gets changed back, and she suddenly "understands" what "men have to deal with all the time,
every day."

Yeah, what wasn't mentioned in the OP is that Anthony's writing style, aside from all the other problems, is just awful. Really, really bad. Like a retarded Asimov bad.
