Can you use the "product of the times" defense if the book was wildly controversial for its time? Asking for a comment section…

Nobody: Heinlein: “Homosexuality is gay”
-
An alien who doesn't laugh laughing for the first time at the sight of the cycle of abuse is legitimately creepy
-
tl;dr: Heinlein wrote a book about a powerful alien coming to Earth and learning about humanity as an outsider, but unfortunately he only had one hand on the typewriter while he did it.
-
This feels like a fanfic that switched writers halfway through.
-
I feel like Heinlein was writing a story about a super powered alien coming to earth and learning its customs but then he got distracted and started writing about his sexual fantasies.
-
“That’s not an old one, that’s a corpse nobody’s eaten yet.” Sentences I never expected to hear for 400
-
It’s nice to see that in the book humans have evolved enough that the argument “Mike can’t own Mars because there’s already other people living there” is actually accepted, because historically, a place already being inhabited unfortunately hasn’t been enough to stop people from claiming that they own it anyway
-
“THATS the story? That was just the authors barely concealed fetish”
-
"And then in the third act, he starts a sex cult." Zeus could never-
-
First half: "wow, this could be a movie" Second half: "wow, this could be a porn movie"
-
I’m officially an adult now and can watch this video without hurting Red’s conscience. Finally.
-
"And Ben, who IS saying No to a lot of this is being treated like he'll learn or come around" as an aro/ace I can relate
-
"This is never explained, I think it's just something Heinlein is into" literally the entire book
-
Jill: Dont be attractive to men. Be more masculine. Ancient Greece: Am I a joke to you?
-
I had a girlfriend whose favorite book was "Stranger in a Strange Land". She philosophically based a lot of her lifestyle around it. I didn't understand why our relationship was so one sided until I read it some years after we broke up.
-
She left out the part where the main female lead LITERALLY tells Mike not to kill r***sts because "9 out of 10 times when a woman gets r***d, it's at least partially her fault." That was the part where I put the book down.
-
“T-posing psychic nudist colony with rage-eyed Heinlein censor bars” is the most cursed thing I’ve seen all month.
-
first act michael: soft boy, precious son. Protect Him. second act michael: [CENSORED]
-
Red: "Which I'm sure real astrolagers would never do" The time-travelling goat-fish: ...
-
If I had the power to make a movie adaptation of any book, I'd make an extremely gay, extremely modern version of Stranger in a Strange Land with the purpose of making Heinlein spin in his grave so fast, he could power the Texas power grid.
