87/ I never said that there are no straight white male SF authors; I said that they are not getting published by Tor, etc., and are not receiving awards. Scroll up thread for footnotes documenting the correctness of this claim. https://twitter.com/McJohnson922/status/1290775411341717504 …

98/ I thought about what it would feel like to write a book as bad as Scalzi's typical output while I was writing my novels. ...and that's why I did six drafts, to make sure that that wouldn't happen.https://twitter.com/ZombieDevaney/status/1290779081647312897 …

102/ The problem, Brittany, is that affirmative action in publishing worked exactly like affirmative action always does: selecting people based on criteria other than ability. Have you LOOKED at the kind of stuff that wins the Hugo these days? Ooof. https://twitter.com/brittania_/status/1290779506156789760 …

111/ When have I painted myself as a victim, Brittany? My books sell thousands of copies, I win awards, I make good money from my writing. I don't NEED or WANT mainstream publishers. Sharing data on how the market works != claiming victimization. https://twitter.com/brittania_/status/1290780821607993344 …

113/ I do, in fact, not realize that that is the subtext, because it's not. I write well, I'm content with what I write, I'm happy with the awards I've won, I'm thrilled with the money. I just lament that entryists have taken over the big publishers. https://twitter.com/brittania_/status/1290782054234255360 …

114/ "Oh, you consider yourself knowledgeable about the traditions of science fiction? Name 20 novels published by Tor in the last three weeks that you've read!" - far too many people

116/ Their entire world view is that only stupid evil people oppose them, so they go through the rituals to demonstrate that I am much dumber than they are. They don't always succeed.

120/ You're saying that you're ignorant of Martin Delaney who wrote SF in the 1850s, Pauline Hopkins, who wrote SF in1900s, Octavio Butler, Samuel Delaney in 1960s, and dozens of other African American SF authors? That's pathetic; you should be embarassedhttps://twitter.com/RadFemme74/status/1290792376043220995?s=19 …

121/ Imagine being this guy and not knowing that one of the classics of SF, Dhalgren, was written by a gay African American almost 50 years ago, and asserting that minorities only broke into SF recently. Ouch. SO CRINGE.

122/ And yet I'm the only one in this thread who can name female SF authors from the 1950s or African American ones from the 1960s, while all the woke children are telling me that SF was hopelessly racist and sexist up until last week. Odd.
