Houseplants of Gor

As an aside, there is also a Houseplant of Gor object in-game. It's a plant that quotes from that parody when you click it. Message me in-game if you want one; it's copyable.

Oh. My. God.

A gift for someone who wouldn't even *get* that it was no gift at all, until they had suffered along diligently through several dozen pages...

Oooooh so deliciously evil! I fear you already.

Please let me point out one simple little thing:

It's not the writer you should mock. Seriously. He just did not know better.

The EDITOR, on the other hand, should be stabbed with rusty paperclips until he is sent to a special place in hades set aside for trators.

John Norman strikes me as a kind of misogynistic Ron Hubbard of BDSMism.

Save your breath unless you're super bored. The books are available free, online, in text format. So you might say Norman can't even give them away

HMMMMMM, trying here but can't really think of another good use for them tho.

Just think of how much better it would be if these were required reading before a person was sent to prison for a long time. Even better if they had to read them when they were thinking of commiting a crime.

Oh.. if you want a quick ban from a Gor sim, show up with a titler 'Houseplants of Gor' - only takes seconds.. *grins*

Although I wouldn't even call it much of BDSM, more like a teenaged boy imagining a fantasy world were he has superpowers and swords and slave girls, with some bdsm thrown in more out of fear of women than anything else. The sexual activity depicted in the books would put you to sleep.

I actually had to research a bit to find out why Gors hate furries so much. Amazingly there is a reason for it (in Gor context).

Well, don't leave us hanging, what's the gossip?

The Kurii, an anthropoid spacefaring race, wish to capture Gor and Earth to replace their own planet, which they destroyed in internecine warfare. Currently, the Kurii operate in large artificial planetoids outside the orbit of Jupiter: the Priest-Kings do not molest them as long as they stay outside that orbit. For sixteen thousand years the Priest-Kings have fought the Kurii, protecting Gor and Earth from them. The Kurii are large, furred carnivores, extremely vicious, with technology far in advance of Terran science, but yet no match for the Priest-Kings. Many of Earth’s legendary monsters, including Grendel, the Sasquatch, and the Yeti, were in fact shipwrecked Kurii who were trapped on Earth when their ships were destroyed by Priest-King patrols. Kurii are also found on Gor, shipwrecked in the same manner, and have formed isolated outposts in the far North. (They cannot stand a hot climate and are extremely sensitive to pollution, which is why they are not found in any number on Earth.) The Priest-Kings do not molest Kurii on the surface of Gor save to enforce the Weapons and Technology Laws on them just as on humans. Therefore, a Kur who does not break the laws is safe on Gor from Priest-Kings… but not from humans, who hate them and kill them whenever they can. This is a very justified attitude, as Kurii are extremely arrogant and look on all other animals, including man, as food, and not too bright food at that.

I've never had the dubious pleasure of reading a Gor novel, but John Norman strikes me as a kind of misogynistic Ron Hubbard of BDSMism. Though perhaps in this case he actually believed what he was writing...

So... what you are saying is this hate is really just FEAR of the superior furry race?

Ha ha.

Well, of course.

Adam, instead of a religion I think Norman should have started a Gor fantasy playset. Furry* handcuffs inscribed with alien names!

*On second thought, perhaps leather instead?
