Screw em. Let the Left eat their own.
Safe For Work Airlines? So F***ing What, America?
Good. Now get sick.
The deep SF world has been kinked for a long time, like since the 50s.
I don’t know what the Grand Masters is about, or Nebulas. At first I thought ‘Golf?’. I spent the first few paragraphs trying to figure out; “What is this article about?”
Then, near the forth paragraph it was seen:
A well known white writer referred to a black writer as
‘colored’ instead of African American. Okay. got it.
I never agreed with that term. It was Jesse Jackson who popularized it. That scorned writer is 72 y/o. During her younger years, the term ‘Colored’ or Negro was very common.
Sad that she has to deal with such intolerant purists.
Hugos and Nebulas have been irrelevant for years. SciFi has been ruined by wokeness and Fantasy. The two genres are distinct and lumping them together a huge mistake. I saw the rot set in when Asimov died and Gardner Dozois took over editing the Isaac Asimov SciFi monthly mag. He immediately filled it with navel gazing crap and I immediately cancelled. These people deserve each other.
I’ve read and loved good SF since childhood. Thanks to the loathsome present day SFWA, I scan what pile of excrement they’re awarding as an “avoid at all cost list” lest I lose my ability to think.
After all, who wants a story of a self-involved aware piece of gay trans software that’s in love with a garbage can identifying as a septic tank, but can only consummate by pressing CTL-ALT-DEL & the suckme button simultaneously?
A woman objected to the term "honey."

I take offense at labelling such monsters, “Jacobins.” I mean, the Jacobin French were murderous, insanely anti-God fanatics, but they were reasonable compared to these folks.
Not a big fan of sci-if but anyone who is identified as a protege of Marion Zimmer Bradley is someone I couldn’t care less about. Her and Breen were filth.
Heinlein is turning over in his grave.
Yet they allow the writer of “Hogg” to be on the panel. Need to know how leftist a group is, check their hypocrisy first.
“with it, she joins the ranks of the likes of Gene Wolf”
I think the author meant Gene WOLFE.
She was bitten by the poisonous beast she created.
Sympathy?
None whatsoever.
Absolutely ridiculous that it’s come to this.
Seriously, I was half-expecting that the pro-LGBT writer had said something about trans-women (the reason they want to cancel J.K.Rowling). But using an older term, and then banning her for it? They’re becoming a joke.
I know people who had goals of becoming members of SFWA. And once they made it, they didn’t hang around.
Also, note that unlike the Hugo, which was voted on by the fans, the Nebulas are voted on by other writers (SFWA members).
I have no sympathy for any level of woke pandering. A monkey pox upon them all.
Pretty soon being straight will be rebellion.
Lackey’s Valdemar books are generally pretty good reads, though some of them get quite preachy about woke crap. The Vanyel books were actually quite good despite the gay content - he is a self-sacrificing hero whose sexuality is pretty much incidental to the plot. There are several other gay / bi characters in the books, but it’s never in your face.
Funny that she is cancelled for something that the “president” got away with. Maybe her real sin is not making perversion central to the plots.
