      Science fiction is a mostly American literary form. How many Saudi science fiction novels were published last year? Columbian? Who's your favorite female Kenyan science fiction author?https://twitter.com/cosmicdog/status/1202043807170039808 …

      Wrong. Your logic and understanding of Bayes is incorrect. The context for discussion is not American missions to the moon, but rather science fiction writers across the world. So, general demographics apply in the second case, but not the first.

      2/ Where do I get my data? From reading in the field. From reading Locus, which covers the field. From talking to my agent, who negotiates foreign deals. From talking to the publisher who's translating my novels to Russian. Where do you get YOUR data?https://twitter.com/cosmicdog/status/1202047659948662787?s=19 …

      I don’t know where you get your numbers, but SF is worldwide. Just because Americans consume the most of the segment doesn’t mean they produce the most. It’s a big world.

          4/ Sure! I've read SF by Brits, Germans, Aussies, Russians, Chinese. But just bc something is global doesn't mean that it's EQUALLY DISTRIBUTED. I'm not arguing "ONLY American men write SF". I'm arguing "They write a disproportionate amount of it".https://twitter.com/bearded_archer/status/1202050057249415168?s=19 …

          What about Harry Potter, JK Rowling is American? How about science fiction in Spanish? Spain, Perú, México, Colombia have some pretty good science fiction writers. Poland has good science fiction writers. That being said, the English Language market for SF is larger.

          You’re making stuff up and calling it data. You’re wrong. It’s true that a great many SF authors and books come from American men, it’s not all or nearly all or even half. I’m sorry that it offends you that the other at least 65% of the SF world is getting recognized.

          6/ Also, Harry Potter isn't SF. ...unless you're talking about HPMOR...in which case you have to drop both the "non American" and "non female" claims... Which...yes, speaks to my point.https://twitter.com/bearded_archer/status/1202050057249415168?s=19 …

          7/ Also, you're doing that dishonest thing where you assume my motivations (incorrectly) so that you can signal your virtue in comparison. I have ZERO problem with women, or with non Americans winning the Hugo. But, since you like statistics >>>https://twitter.com/cosmicdog/status/1202050261729959936?s=19 …

          8/ If - using your numbers - 55% of SF authors are American, and 37% are female, and about 18% are American and female, how likely is it - given fair judging - that 8 of the last 10 Hugos went to American females? < 1 in 10,000, I think. I mean..if the judging is fair. 🤔

          Oh, bullshit! You posted, incorrectly, that no American man has won a Hugo since 2010 and stated “this can’t be a coincidence”. So, fuck you for lying.

          11/ I said 90%? I don't recall doing so. Also, defining SF so as not to include Harry Potter isn't narrow - it's just what words mean. What was your piece of science of technology in HP?https://twitter.com/cosmicdog/status/1202056601655365634?s=19 …

          You said that 90% of SF is written by American men. That’s factually incorrect. Except that it seems you want to narrowly define SF so that your numbers will fit (ie discounting JK Rowling)
