  1. Re:Not really a liberal attack on Hugo Awards Turn (Even More) Political · · Score: 2

    No. That was the delusional fantasy that they use for an excuse. Works were being excluded because not enough people enjoyed that. Corriea is fine and he's really just another urban fantasy hack, except with gun porn. John C. Wright is a raving lunatic and noted pervert. And Vox Day shouldn't even be allowed in civilized company.

    But of course, you're judgement is the only one that matters re: Ancillary Sword. Clearly, a lot of people liked it. It won the juried awards as well as the Hugo. This is the problem for you lot. Just because YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING, that doesn't mean it's atuomatically inferior.

    He knows very well that it's bullshit. It's part of the gameplan to pretend that 'Mean old Scalzi started it!' They're obsessed with him.

    No. He hasn't. That's unmitigated bullshit. He has provided lists of his own work that's eligible, and he provides a thread for other people to do the same. That's not the same thing has posting a list of 5 works in each catagory and saying 'here, nominate these minions' which is what the SP did. You're either ignorant or lying.

    They also include 6(!) nominations for noted homophobe and pervert John C. Wright, including 3 in one catagory, because OBVIOUSLY he wrote 3 of the best 5 novellas released last year.

    Yes, for example Ancillary Justice. Hardly sci-fi that, right? Another idiot coward heard from.

    The whole story is idiotic. The reason a number of actors didn't take off after SW is that they just weren't very good actors. And I'm not sure how the author determined that Liam Neeson wasn't helped. He sure as hell wasn't injured by doing it! Bottom line is, the good actors suceeded, the Mark Hamils struggled.
