That tends to be how these threads go. People have strong opinions on the big names, so it starts out with a clash of the titans. Those with substantial haterdoms go down fast, while those who are more widely liked survive. Then there's a period of clearing out the chaff--that's when all those obscure names suddenly plunge from "untouched" to "dead." Finally, ~~the last few big names duke it out for the crown.~~ only Birthright, Blackmoor and Lankhmar are left, and everyone is left scratching their heads.

I fixed that for you.

Dunsany, Lord 20
Farmer, P. J. 4 - Had to look this guy up. His stuff sounds interesting, if obviously not for everyone, and I'll throw anyone a bone for bringing postmodernism into genre literature. He's obviously a lost cause but at least he can get one (more) upvote before he sails off into the weirdly sexually charged sunset.
Gardner, Fox 21
Howard, R.E. 12 - His legacy is undeniable, and Conan is a great character, it's just a shame he inhabits such horrifically racist and sexist stories, and I worry that Howard's greatest sins are continuing to influence the worst corners of gaming culture, particularly within the OSR, which doesn't deserve to be saddled with those unfortunate implications

Tolkien, J. R. R. 27 - "easily the most underrated author on this list" I was going to make a "whoa pass me the oven mitts this take is TOO HOT" joke but lowkey beat me to the punch

Since August Derleth was canned, I don't have a whole lotta hate for any of these. So, now its a matter of degree.
