Bakker is shit, so I don't know why he's even included, but I would have to go with Wolfe. Tolkien is a close second.

Bakker keeps being included in these groups even when he really shouldn't be. At this point I think it's just one guy doing a meme.

Who the fuck is Bakker and why do I keep seeing him? I know he has a blog that he waged against the right, but that’s because someone posted it here.

He's a meme from the fantasy general. Some retarded troll keeps shilling him. His writing is atrocious.

Fucking three guys in a room (I think it was Tyrion, Bronn, and the jowly guy thrown overboard).
>He said to him
No context in the fucking sentence to tell us who spoke or who was being spoken to. You can find at least two examples per book. Look for scenes with multiple characters active in a conversation

Read the fucking books. You'll find examples of him not understanding basic S-V-O formation.

He has a shit vocabulary and relies on repetitious cliches as well. He also gets Renly's eye color wrong because he doesn't know what the fuck he's doing, which is why he never finished the series.

No matter how many times you try to shill him, he's nothing more than a pretentious hack who got dropped by his publisher because he was acting like narcissistic petulant diva.

This. Clark Ashton Smith is genuinely good. Too bad he didn't write anything other than pulp trash.
