“”I started this campaign a few years ago,” Correia wrote on his blog, “because I believed that the awards were politically biased and dominated by a few insider cliques. Authors who didn’t belong to these groups or failed to appease them politically were shunned.””

Welcome to our world.

Larry Correia, who along with Brad Torgersen, started the "Sad Puppies" campaign to bring more ideological diversity to the Hugo nominations.

Can't these little snuggie-wearing hipsters leave anything alone?

What happened to being awarded a Hugo for good writing?

Entertainment Weekly is mainstream journalism, who knew! Guess now I'll have to get my news from them.

My dad won a Hugo for a short story which appeared in “Playboy” in the mid 70’s. Great story called “The Jail”

I helped him flesh out the plot when I came home from college and asked how he wrote fiction?

Yes, he was White.
