Never read a damn thing Sanderson has written. I just don't have a pinecone up my ass that tells me to dictate that he's not a GOOD WRITER just because I'm not fucking interested in him like you have.

Counter point: He sucks and is a bad writer and it's ok to use peoples' opinions on him a litmus test for whether or not they have good taste. For example if someone says, 'I really like Sanderson and here are other books I really like...' I will ignore their recommendations. And that's ok.

Maybe if someone were like, 'Sanderson is a guilty pleasure. He can't write complex characters or nuanced plots, but I like giant swords and super powers he has a sort of workman-like ability to churn out many words.' That's fine. But he writes content.
