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 …

3/ Not a single American man has won Hugo since 2010 * Mary Robinette Kowal * N K Jemisin * N K Jemisin * N K Jemisin * Cixin Liu * Ann Leckie * John Scalzi * Jo Walton * Connie Willis * Jo Walton * Connie Willis chance of this happening by chance ~ 0https://twitter.com/KindlyWizard/status/1201893639380594688 …

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.

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 …

9/ "Feed" zombie books were good (under a pen name, IIRC). "Every Heart a Doorway" novella and sequels. https://twitter.com/CholeraFan/status/1202417054382473220?s=19 …

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?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Many would argue that the Hugo's are still about merit, not ideology and demographics. Fortunately the infection of crap that is the Rapid Puppy's has died down.

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.
