Hugo Awards Turn (Even More) Political

Posted by samzenpus on from the can't-we-all-just-get-along? dept.

An anonymous reader writes Last year, the Hugo Awards went to mostly minorities and women. In response, a fan group decided to fight back against what they saw as a liberal attack on their medium. It appears that they have succeeded, as the 2015 nominees are predominantly chosen by a group called "Sad Puppies. Now a counter-counter group is trying to ensure that no one wins any Hugo awards in any category except Best Novel.

    Not necessarily. They're only worthless if non whites or non males win apparently.

    Spin away.

    It's the SJWs dragging race and sex quotas into everything. Making everything about race and sex trivializes the subjects and makes it EASIER for true racism and sexism to exist. Because when every fucking thing under the sun is "racist" or "sexist", absolutely nothing is.

    Shove your "microagressions" up your worthless measurig-everyone-by-race ass
