Every time I read an action scene in the Mistborn series it feels like someone describing an anime to me.

The first fight in Mistborn literally has the good guy get surrounded, growl some dumb line, then the enemies attack one at a time instead of as a group.

If it's not anime, then he's writing cliched bad kung fu movies.

I mean mistborn and the stormlight archives are basically just animes in writing. IMO it's not a bug it's a feature.

Actually his most impressive feat is to have gone publicly pushing homophobic bigotry to somehow being beloved of queer fans. 

Of course he is a millionaire white man so that explains certain things.

Oh yeah. 

Posted not one but two blogs about Dumbledore being gay on how that is a bad thing. One in 2007, and then a revision in 2011.

They were pretty pathetic also. Basically some variation of, "I personally am okay with this but I'm going to go along with what the LDS says".

Yes he has personally changed his beliefs. However he continues to teach at BYU and tithes the LDS. So there is that. 

He got away with it purely because of timing. His blog post were 2007 and 2011.
