![]() ![]() I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way. Elimination rhetoric is only a hairsbreadth away from violence. ![]() I have no desire to pay my hard earned money for the pleasure of being insulted by a bunch of people who despise my very existence. And where I live is perhaps the bluest of blue cities-Washington DC. I’ve been called the n-word and the f-word in public more times than I can count. I agree and support their efforts and suggestions.īut here’s the thing for me. Martin and John Scalzi and Mary Robinette Kowal. Other people have written about this issue-including George R.R. They include a White Supremacist editor and an author known more for his unhinged homophobic rants is nominated six times(!) The message they are sending is quite clear. ![]() ![]() The other group is not subtle about about their contempt. The first group uses dogwhistle language-they are against “Affirmative Action Fiction” (works that feature trans or gay or ethnic minorities characters, and believe that women should be a hero’s reward). The TL DR version is that two groups of right wing blowhards ballot stuffed the Hugo Awards. Much has been written about the current unpleasantness in the Science Fiction and Fantasy fan community. ![]()
