Reminder:
Ender’s Game author Orson Scott Card is a board member at the National Organization for Marriage, one of the largest, most visible, and most vocal anti-gay organizations. Card stands to personally make a fair amount of money due to this film. A fair amount of that money will go to fund NOM and other anti-LGBT causes.
I really enjoy Card’s writing, but I can no longer enrich him. Do not see this film. Do not buy his books. There are many fine actors in this film, and the crew is no doubt full of great people who deserve to make a living, but that’s not reason enough to see it.
Boycott Ender’s Game.
Welp, that’s worth a signal boost.
Fucking ass…welp.
OSC is a horrible, horrible person.
Amen. If you simply must see this movie, hit me up and I will send you a link to it for you to download or stream. A PIRATE’S LIFE FOR ME
…oh. man that sucks.
Because I didn’t see any links proving if this was true or not. I decided to look, and I found this.

WOW
FACT: When Orson Scott Card visted New Zealand for the 2003 NZSF Convention “Emoticon”, my girlfriend at the time and I were asked not to be publically affectionate in order to not upset him. Like, not holding hands. :-\
I don’t know how there are people out there who still don’t know this, but, you know, yeah. Don’t support OSC. My favourite post about this has always been Orson Scott Card, meet Alan Turing, at blogs.feministsf.net (which seems to be down right now, hence the wayback link).
I’ve known about this for a while. Thankfully, I’ve never bothered with him or his crap. But, signal boost.
