    The awards are largely cordycepted these days, but @seananmcguire is a great author and she deserves this, and would deserve it back before c. 2005 when the Hugos were about merit not ideology and demographics.https://twitter.com/Hugo_Book_Club/status/1037731387069980672 …

        2/ I agree - many would argue that. To rebut them, I would ... point to the works that have won the Hugos over the last ~ 15 years. Which is sort of like shooting a fly with a howitzer, because OUCH.https://twitter.com/TGoodrumVA/status/1201892225845776384 …

        There's been some pretty fantastic winners in the last 15 years. Just in the Novel category, we've had Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy(!), The City & the City, Ancillary Justice, Redshirts, and The Graveyard Book.

        4/ Now, if the "Hugo Award for Best Novel" wants to be the paralympics - the best OF THOSE WHO MEET CERTAIN ELIBIGILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR WOKENESS - ok, fine. ...and that's what it's been for 10-15 years now.

        ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Seanan McGuire

        5/ Given that men wrote 90-95% of all science fiction for several decades, no, it's not surprising that we had runs of several men in a row winning. But since women write ~ 40% of SF/F today, a 10 year winning streak is insanely unlikely.https://twitter.com/seananmcguire/status/1201900647227871234 …

        If you consider John Scalzi not to be an American man, your bigotry is showing. Also, I can find you several similar runs of just men from earlier in the history of the awards. Were those equally ideologically motivated?

        "you say that this list of winners shows that the process is political rather than meritocratic... but what about the time the SFWA president won? Obviously this proves you are a bigot for doubting that the awards are assigned meritocraticly"

        Sci-fi is not anglo-centric. Jonathan is factually correct.

        I disagree with your thesis; they are more about merit now than they were in the past. Notice how Seanan is an outlier in this list?

        If they were really still about Merit, we probably wouldn't expect the same person to win Best Novel three years in a row. Or, at least, not if the field of competition was strong as it was historically.
