You know you went into a wrong 'dex thread when the main topic of discussion is Sapkowski's sexuality.

But I admit I havent read the Witcher books, I am just providing context around why these themes exist and its mostly because its historically aligned to the reality of those times

I don’t need your ‘context’. I’m talking about the man and what he shows of himself and his interests in his writing, which is obvious if you have, you know, read it. Someone like Roman Polanski is the same.

Look at GOT, its got rape and incest themes and underage sex. But you wouldnt call George RR Martin a paedophile or having paedophile tendencies
This is a common criticism of George Raymond Martin. :M
Yes for his detractors but thats become a common and overused way to criticism someone you dont like, its like the word racism

Martin is not in anyway a paedophile

GRRM is most certainly a pedophile and a rape fetishist, as is Sapkowsky.
When an obese, retarded, religiously obsessed American calls you a pedophile and a rape fetishist, you know you're doing something alright!
Liberal is not American. Xir is from the Caucasus. Georgia or Armenia. Mountain Jew either way.

His also a Trumptard, so at least partly American. Probably got into US illegally, somehow managed to get citizenship, works some basic low paid job and now wants to close the route for more competition.

An atheist is not obsessed with religion
Yes he is. GRRM is literally OBSESSED with it, judging by how many various esoteric religions he references in his medieval torture porn series.
premodern societies are known to be religious so he created societies that... surprisingly are religious.

but he does not pretend that either of those religions - The Seven, the Old Gods, R'hlorr or other deities from Essos are the 'true and only'. They are simply instruments, useful for gaining and amassing power.
The fact that you can't seem to understand that being obsessed with something is not necessarily the same as endorsing something proves that you're a complete moron.
The fact you can't see difference between competent worldbuilding and 'being obsessed' shows that you're an imbecile. He's no more obsessed about religion as he is about geography, heraldry or armor design.

Have you read any of his books?

Do you know the themes in GOT are based on different and real historical events and cultures

I see nothing here about sporting suspiciously young characters in key story roles that also involved various types of sexual adventures, though.

Just saying.

I live in the same town as Sapkowski does and believe me, it's small enough that if he was so, I would know. His life is pretty boring and sad, but there is nothing unusual in it. He is what he is - he doesn't like stupid people, he's not very kind and he does not bother to appease anybody and sometimes he drinks too much, but that's it.
