I don't know who approved this. I don't know how extensive Raytheon's involvement was (it would be helpful if DisCon would reply to some of the messages being sent). The majority of attendees I know basically found out during the ceremony and did a "wtf just happened??"
I have no doubt people would have pushed back if this was public knowledge during a time that arrangements could have been changed (or frankly, made different decisions if the sponsorship remained). At least I hope so because damn some of the convos I've seen are disheartening
I don't know what else to say. Elements of the American SFF field have always had a fucked up relationship with the military industrial complex but really? Raytheon??
Still typing and deleting tweets but I will say this: publishing has thrown a lot of wtf moments my way, but "make sure one of the most prestigious awards in my industry isn't being sponsored by a war criminal before accepting the nomination." This shouldn't have happened.
