HDM fails because the author had a vision and a message he wanted to communicate, but he was a lot better at worldbuilding than at social commentary. It’s a book series that tries to critique the Catholic Church, the broadest target possible, and misses the shot through some basic misconceptions. It’s an institute with such a long and broad history of regular old corruption and theft, murder, colonialism, misogyny, and your entire angle of attack is that it’s not a creative institution??? How embarrassing. How embarrassing

#Kelsey liveblogs HDM #hold on the tv series finally came #he had something with the misogyny (Mrs Coulter/‘second Eve’) and the church preying on children #but then it leaned hard into the scientific repression angle rather than you know. the long history of the church raping and murdering #children (esp radicalized children)#and your anti-misogynist commentary really falls flat when you sideline your female characters the moment a guy comes on screen!!
