What makes his writing so appealing to the female demographic?
>>
>>23815288
Not sure it specifically attracts female readers.

Just that women make up around 90% of active readers, and they will happily hoover up whatever popular slop that's on offer.

But also a complete lack of philosophical depth or accurate male pathos means there's little that they'd be put off by.

There's nothing you can read that will get you bitches.

They read anything that is popular.

if anything that's a point against.

Why is this?
>>
>>23815288
I read mistborn trilogy for shits and gigs recently and it was decently enjoyable. I can see why females would like it though. It's very mystery and action driven. The women characters are also magically powerful without being sluts. The romance also was pretty traditional and non graphic, which I'm sure stands out too amongst the other romantasy slop that gets pushed onto them.

Clearly because he's such a hunk.

four decades of female teachers putting males off of artistic pursuits.

Men read comics, manga and listen to audiobooks

His main demographic is skinny-fat Redditor nerds in their 30s-50s though.

>>23816564
Men play video games instead

If anything, women are underrepresented in his readership compared to the number of men vs women who read for entertainment
>>
>>23815288
Sanderson actually talks to women he's close to about things involving women in his books to portray them authentically. The parties in Mistborn 1 come to mind. He's also very sparse with details about their appearance so his portrayal of women is generally pretty neutral.
>>
>>23817829
being a BYU professor, I wonder what his real opinions regarding women are

If Sanderson wasn't such a goody two-shoes mormon boy he could be bedding mentally ill fangirls on cons and getting cancelled on twitter for it. That's how I'd live his life anyway.

>>23817907
I doubt he cares much about contemporary issues outside of his books. He's a Mormon, stinking rich, and his wife cranked out three sons. Man's got it made.
>>
>>23817750
I used to play video games, bu they all suck now. So I turned to reading instead. These are dark times.
>>
>>23817952
How is he a Mormon with only one wife? Shouldn't he have a full harem if he followed their teachings?
>>

Kenshi will save you

You're talking about Mormons, not Muslims

>>23818335
Mormons also practiced bigamy/polygamy in the past

Reader bitches love a reader dude if he's confident. Some of the freakiest girls you'll ever have, too.

That sounds so hot

Play retro and indie kino. You'll never go back
