He wasn’t pretending to be asian, though, the book John Dies at The End makes that very clear and gives a silly in universe reason for the now dead pseudonym. It really was not problematic, even at the time of it being used.
He stopped using it for that very reason, and took accountability. People are allowed to self correct, if he understands the problem with what he did and course corrected
Now that you were pushed on it a bit you’re saying
It really was not problematic, even at the time of it being used.
Something about this interaction feels really dishonest.
Was there a problem he needed to take accountability for or not?
Read into the guy if you’re so fucking concerned and I’m so fucking dishonest. Cunts like you are why I’m two seconds away from being done with this stupid site.
Considering you started this conversation blatantly calling me dishonest for recommending a writer who doesn’t rape people or pursue political and social erasure of a demographic, maybe take your own advice.
What did your other response say before you deleted it?

You totally misread that. Please don’t blame me for assumptions that only exist in your head. I will tell you what I mean if you ask.
I called you dishonest for saying he did something “problematic” but took accountability for it to immediately saying he didn’t do anything “problematic”.
Either one is true or the other and since it’s your recommendation I was asking you to clarify.
You’re obviously a big fan of this author I’ve never heard of and are taking this very personally.
What did your other response say before you deleted it?
Lmfao, seriously you are letting this bother you so much! Just step away. I accidentally hit some random buttons when I was trying to read your reply and it somehow posted a blank string, if that helps your anxiety.
Then I will rephrase – asking tumblr “is it problematic for a white person to go by an obviously Asian name as a pseudonym,” I feel that even phrased that way they would still say “yes.”
I don’t really use the word ‘problematic’ in the social justice sense myself because it’s incredibly vague, but if you’re going to specifically use the word problematic and claim that Jason Pargin isn’t, then I feel that it’s a pretty cut-and-dry “yes that was ‘problematic’” scenario.

Just a few comments up you said

Two things can be true.
Also.

If you’re just here to throw a tantrum and call people mean names I don’t think you will be missed.
Cunt.
Leaving this site aside, its good for everyone, both you and I, to take breaks and focus on our mental when we can.
Whatever you’re doing here, I don’t think the replies you’d tend to get behaving like this are worth the mental energy it seems to be costing you.

Have a nice day, enjoy the weather!
So, which one is it? feels pretty dishonest to me.
