No, but it does show you WHY they had to take over the Hugos. Science fiction, debate, atheism, etc. Every field that has let the SJW's take over, this is what happens. Straight white males are treated like they don't exist anymore and all the awards go to women and minorities.

If you really want a laugh, google the winning debate performances of the Cross Examination Debate Association (CEDA) in the last few years.

That's the SJW version of "equality" i.e. "since you were racist and sexist for a long time then that gives us a free pass to now be racist and sexists right back at you." Not exactly what Martin Luther King, Jr. had in mind, methinks.

So what?

I don't place any value at all in these awards anymore, not after what the puppies showed to be true regarding the Hugos. And that sucks for the actual and talented authors out there that no longer get the spotlight they deserve for doing an excellent job.

I'm not sure if that's a win for the ideologues, but it's damn sure a loss for the actual writers.
