      9/ If you scan 100 non-Baen books on the shelf, it seems like they are 40% female authors, 10% Asian authors, 50% fantasy, 10% not-really-SF-or-F-genre.

      10/ I've got no problem with female authors, Asian authors, black authors, etc. I could name multiple authors in each category that I like. ...but it's also hard to escape the conclusion that the Powers That Be are counting checkboxes as they do their manuscript purchasingpic.twitter.com/7u2KNvbZtZ

      12/ Yep! EXACTLY! It's not MERELY that Tor etc have drifted from "left of center" to "hard left", it's that OTHER 1/4 of the market has coalesced hard around Baen. Just as the left has made Scalzi their totem animalpic.twitter.com/TUQPp7bZkX

      14/ I've met Larry two or three times. I've sat down and eaten dinner with him. He's he most charming and nice and skilled guy you'd ever want to meet. ...but it's bad for a very wide genre to be split into two halves, and to be simplified into two camps and two totems.

      15/ It's not that there's a single thing wrong with Monster Hunter Novels, and mercenaries shooting Cthulhu like creatures with .50 BMGs. ...and there's a hell of a lot right about it. Just as there's nothing wrong with lesbian girl-power vampire hunter fiction from the left.

      16/ The problem is that the left consolidated on one side, and took 75% of the market, and the right basically said "oh? well, OK, find, we can do that too!" and gathered all their toys (mostly black pistols and night vision scopes) and rushed off to the other side.

      17/ ...and now there is LITTLE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE. Right wing SF is great. Left wing SF is great. ...but the fertile valley in between these two mountain ranges, watered with the run off from each, was better than either.
