      @LordGrimdark So last year's all white and a token Asian award is your image of the future?

      @mzmadmike the Hugos have been depressingly irrelevant to me for years. Do shortlists dominated by slates increase their relevance? No.

    @LordGrimdark Why do you hate writers who are female, disabled, or minority? Because more than half the SP are.

    @LordGrimdark I think it's the ideology-bound vision of what the future *ought to* look like that's being rejected.SP is just 1 form of it.

    @LordGrimdark Honestly think First Law should have got a Hugo and without Sad Puppies anything you write would never get one.
