I made the same decision with Brandon Sanderson and his fuckin fanclub takes it extremely personally when I point out how problematic he is as an author.

Yes, his writing is good. Yes, his writing is remarkably inclusive with regards to sexual orientation, disability, and mental illness.

However, Brandon is a Mormon first and foremost, and actively tithes to his church. That means a significant percentage of ALL Dragonsteel profits go directly towards the suppression and disenfranchisement of LGBTQ+ programs, sex education, and effective mental health services.

He might write a good story, but his IRL politics are repugnant.

I read the Mistborn books, and wasn't terribly impressed. Anyone that repeatedly and unrepentantly uses the phrase "decked him in the face" is not a good writer. :)
