Controversy Section
Let me start by stating I'm not attempting to discredit the claims... I've read these books... but if the Wiki page is going to say Throughout the 2010s, numerous science fiction community sources..., shouldn't there be more than one source to back it up?

 * Agree. It's just one source, which to me seems like WP:UNDUE for such extreme, WP:BLP skirting claims. I'm removing it. —Torchiest talkedits 06:00, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
 * I've added a new version of the controversy section; I think the criticisms of Anthony are fairly wide-spread, a significant part of his reputation as a writer in science-fiction and fantasy circles, and should be reflected here. In an attempt to redress the previous issues with the section, I've added more sources, I've tried to use less charged language in summarizing the criticisms, and I've added some comments made by Anthony in various interviews. 198.27.248.4 (talk) 05:09, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Sources look good. Purely in the interests of readability, I'd be tempted to reword have taken issue with themes of underage sexuality and eroticism throughout Anthony's work. It could easily be read like people have taken issue with themes of underage sexuality (one item) and eroticism (another item). I presume it's intended to mean "sexuality and eroticism" as a single issue (I've not seen any criticism of Anthony's eroticism except where it concerns children). Perhaps just "themes of underage sexuality" would be sufficient? It's a nitpicky change though so I won't make that edit unless I get some agreement. John Bullock (talk) 10:31, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Anthony MIA
Pretty sure something's happened to him, as it's been 3 months since any update on his website newsletter and he's gone silent on his email. 97.107.37.1 (talk) 07:55, 26 May 2023 (UTC)


 * He's still alive, although you are correct that his newsletter hasn't been updated. This was the last post Psychologist Guy (talk) 01:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
