SET PHASERS TO KILL! SJWS BURN DOWN THE HUGO AWARDS TO PROVE HOW TOLERANT AND WELCOMING THEY ARE

At the seventy-third annual Worldcon science fiction convention on Saturday night, social justice warriors did their best impression of the nightmare firemen of Ray Bradbury’s classic Fahrenheit 451, choosing to burn down the Hugo Awards and damage science fiction instead of seeing works of heretical authors outside of their exclusive clique winning awards.

The social justice tendency, here as elsewhere, is driven by anxious white middle-class bloggers and authors who turn their noses up at the tastes of the proletariat. They’d rather celebrate books about coming to terms with the disabled transgender experience than a good story about aliens and ray guns.

5 major categories including best novella and best short story went with “no award.” To put that in perspective, in the previous 60 years of Hugo Awards, a total of 5 “no awards” have been given previously.

Puppies supporters say that slew of “no award” wins this year can at least partially be attributed to the fact that SJW votes were concentrated on that choice, while Puppies votes were distributed between as many as four deserving authors. The “no award” results in the novella and short story categories are a particular slap in the face to ordinary fans, who remember the genre’s roots in short-form pulp magazine writing.

“The fact that the SJWs would rather give out no award rather than honor an influential editor like Toni Weisskopf of Baen Books or science fiction grandmaster John C. Wright demonstrates the extent to which science fiction has been politicized and degraded by their far-left politics.

“The SJWs will try to portray this as a victory – they would try to portray suicide by self-cannibalism as a victory – but anyone who knows anything about history understands the significance of one side resorting to burning down its own houses in order to deny it to the enemy. That is a defensive tactic borne of desperation.”

The facts of this case are the same as in gaming and in every other industry that social justice warriors touch. They do not care about art forms. They do not care about science fiction. They do not even particularly care about talent. They care about enriching and ennobling themselves and their friends, and pushing a twisted, discredited, divisive brand of authoritarian politics.

You mean the one that led to 'no award' being selected?
You actually make a good point for once.

LOL oh fucking god reading that story hurt my sides. Its amazing how gamergate retards who didnt follow politics until summer 2014 now think of breitbart as some type of muckracking journalism gods. They were and still are one of the most hilariously blatant republican/right wing propoganda sites to ever exist. But hey, hating women gives you credibility that even milo fuckboyopolis is now treated as a "journalist" what a fucking joke.

I felt a great disturbance in the salt, as if millions of SJWs suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

You can't ban the voters as they're not a certain set of people. As far as I know anyone participating in the World Science Fiction Convention, or you know by just getting a supporting membership can vote.

Anyway I'm biased so I wont comment further on this.

Breitbart is pretty much one of the worst journalism outfits in the country, but that doesn't stop them from being right, and when it comes to *most* of this sort of stuff, they are right. The reason conservatives have traditionally been so wrong about these sorts of things is because they always acted like we had reached the point of lunacy already when we hadn't. However, now that we have reached that point, they find themselves correct. As an ardent left-winger, I don't WANT to agree with them. However, more important to me than my left wing values is my belief in reason and evidence.

you mean gamergate reactionaries who brigaded the voting and then cried all the way to kotakuinaction, shaking back in forth as they held their pony pillows and vivian james hentai for comfort. As Fattie Mc6chins looked out his window, as the lower middleclass suburban town was hit by the morning sun, he sighed his mountain dew smelling sobs. But how...how could he make himself feel better. But alas, the brigade failed, and vox days 150 IQ was threatened. Could memes save him? Could unironically spamming triggered save his feelings? alassssssssssssss, they could not.

Always a shame to see awards turn into political shitshows.
The political beliefs of the authors being taken into account by voters is bullshit.

Are you ok? You sound like you've been triggered, I reccommend a 2 hour stay in an SJW approved safe space.
