How dare he?
Author Stephen King is facing potential cancellation from the ‘woke’ mob after he responded to the Oscar nominations by saying art should be judged on quality, not the “diversity” of its creators.
King was responding to controversy surrounding the Oscar nominations being too “white” and too “male”.
Vogue reported that the choices were “a pretty poor showing for…well, anyone other than straight white men,” complaining that no females were nominated for best director and “zero performers of color were nominated in the best supporting actor and best supporting actress categories.”
King responded on Twitter by daring to suggest that potential winners should be judged on their merits and not their genitalia or skin color.
“As a writer, I am allowed to nominate in just 3 categories: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Screenplay,” tweeted King.

They are his mob. I wonder why he went against what he is often for. Trying to interest conservative readers, or drum up interest in a new book or old ones. I suspect everything named mobs do is a business decision, a crafted one. I won't read him, more for lack of quality. His stories never end as well as they start. His leftism, an elitist groupthink, they know better while hidden from what they impose on us in gated communities attitude does him no favors though.
