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 …

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.

10/ One American man won the Hugo in the last 10 years. But in my defense, look at this picture. You can understand how I assumed he was Canadian.pic.twitter.com/rjcOXOEfDf

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 …

I didn’t say that. I’d explain why I brought up the 2%, but you are being willfully obtuse, so what would be the point?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

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)

Any sufficiently advanced technology may be indistinguishable from magic, but that doesn't mean it _is_ magic. Rowling would agree.
