Hugo Awards Drama

The Mighty Buzzard writes:

So, last night the SJW types over at the Hugo awards decided they'd rather burn the whole thing to the ground than give out an award based on what the readers like instead of social justice reasons:

The members of the World Science Fiction Society rejected the slate of finalists in five categories, giving No Award in Best Novella, Short Story, Related Work, Editor Short Form, and Editor Long Form. This equals the total number of times that WSFS members have presented No Award in the entire history of the Hugo Awards, most recently in 1977.

Here are a few of the people on the #SadPuppies slate that should be quite surprised to learn that they were denied a chance at an award for being white males when they wake up this morning: Rajnar Vajra, Larry Correia, Annie Bellet, Kary English, Toni Weisskopf, Ann Sowards, Megan Gray, Sheila Gilbert, Jennifer Brozek, Cedar Sanderson, and Amanda Green.

takyon: Here are in-depth explanations of the Hugo Awards controversy.

  Those SJW feminazi multiculti libtards posted this story late sunday night on purpose. They knew this time slot has least number of readers on soylent. It was deliberately delayed so it wouldn't get the proper recognition that it deserves!

  We all know the truth is that thousands of SJWs were willing to spend $40 each just to keep honest, pure, good, self-relient story telling down because they care more about being divisive than they do about science fiction. The hugos have always been controlled by secret cabals, but when right-thinking white men take a public stand for liberty -- LIBERTY! -- no, no, no that can't be permitted. Our official cabal isn't politically correct enough for all those dumb, stupid, SJWs!!!!

  Help help, I'm being repressed!

  There's no conspiracy, just a bunch of entryist morons attempting to shovel their propaganda out as much as possible.
