    oh i agree, but verhoeven’s reading of the original is still not wrong, and the reassons for his distaste are valid. and heinlein was not only the author of the moon is harsh mistress, but also of the incredibly racist farnham’s freehold (yes, i’m aware that he probably toned down the racism of campbell’s original, but that’s a bar so low that you need to dig a trench to find it.)

    misaimed fandoms are a thing; you’d be surprised (or not) how many hard right fans in poland do the witcher books and games have. similarly, there are still people who believe that verhoeven’s starship troopers film is an affirmation, not repudiation of fascism (in the original book, and in general).
