      Sorry, I was making an obtuse joke about Erika Kirk because my brain is cooked. I don’t know anything about Kirkbride besides a little bit of his writing for those series.

      He’s not, he’s a standard “San Francisco wacky hippie left-libertarian”, so generally ok with an occasional hyper-edgy take.

      Kirkbride has always been pretty quiet about real-world political stuff, and tbh I do get the vibe that he could have some real wacky and problematic views, but his wife Lady N is also active in the TES lore communities and she’s really cool so I’d be really surprised if he ever actually went further right than milquetoast progressive liberalism

      I mean his most famous creation is an intersex genderfluid sex-worker god who is problematic yet strangely likeable, he can’t be a complete chud

      • Yeah, I should be more confident that the guy that made Vivec a central character that married the male protagonist stand-in in CODA wouldn’t be a CHUD, but I have seen some weird pivots. Especially amongst the more bizarre and weird personalities.
