In the Late 60's and early 70's there was a talented football player for Hereford United, who were one of the top 5 teams of the day, by the name of David Icke. After suffering from arthritis he then became a radio commentator, staying with the game. The guy was pretty famous for playing the nation's most popular sport, later becoming a pundit on TV and Radio, appearing into the 80's as a major personality with frequent BBC appearances.
David Icke is not remembered as a footballer
David Icke is not remembered as a pundit.
David Icke is remembered as a fucking crank.
David Icke went... Significantly off of the rails... like, You know the theory that all famous people are lizardmen pedos? That's basically him. he even has his own section on the Wiki article for the conspiracy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reptilian_conspiracy_theory
Anyway, I remember my parents telling me about this and I remember being blown away that a legacy like that could be undone by such abject crankery...
I'm very much not saying that a certain fantasy author has fucking lost it in the same way as our former Hereford United Goalkeeper, but I do wonder, with how she's making herself, how long it'll be till in the eyes of the wider public that her legacy stops being about witches and wizards, and starts being gametes and parasocial divorcees
Suddenly, the lizardmen pedos also have a spaceship and a moon base that are beaming signals to the left hemisphere of our brain, creating a digital 'Matrix' overlaid on our senses that control what we see and experience.
I always get him and David Dees mixed up but in my defence the main difference is one can use photoshop and is american and the other played football
