      I am honestly trying to figure you out, because deinstitutionalization was the movement in the sixties and seventies to move mentally ill patients out of institutions. Are you referring to the failure of leftist radicals in electoral politics?

      I've read a fair bit of bad SF while looking for good new stuff. I could look at my list, but the only two that stand out this year were Delta-V (hard sf about asteroid mining) and Children of Time (alt-evolutionary history). The main char of the 2nd book is a female spider.

          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 …

          Then where the fuck were all the non-white authors in the old days? Oh right, to you white men can talk about anything and everyone else needs to shut up. Face it the entire field of science fiction writing is deeply bigoted and here you are defending it.

          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. 🤔https://twitter.com/WinoCheap/status/1290807401151639552?s=19 …

          Your understanding of "the history of the art form" is narrow and formed by your priors. Your accusation that others are ignorant of that history, as if you're the arbiter of the that history, is shallow and very telling.
