This is honestly disgusting that anyone would defend the kind of mindgames these petty people play. It's been curious enough that some truly awful series have won Hugo awards, but once you realize that author is friends with the right people or preaches the right gospel, suddenly the unfair advantage makes sense. What happened to judging a book or author objectively, or for the content of their work instead of vetting them by some arbitrary standard that says "you think like we do!" Some animals are more equal than others indeed.

>Last August, the Hugo Awards for science fiction and fantasy were swept by a younger group of women and people of color. At the time, we said "This was really a year that underscored that a younger generation of diverse writers are becoming central to the genre." So maybe it's not surprising that there was an organized backlash.

>But this year's list of nominees seems to herald the beginning of the Hugos becoming "political" in the sense that each "side" will have its own recommended slate of nominees. People won't get to spend months chewing over the best things they read in the previous year and grappling with their own consciences about what to nominate — instead, each side will have to decide early on which standard-bearers to double down on.

They begin the article by stating outright that they threw a party for white men not winning awards, then end it by bemoaning that people will "start" voting based on skin color and gender instead of story quality. What a pack of shills.

i am in grad school and i'm published in like three short fiction journals on campus and one local one. almost entirely for speculative fiction, most of it science fiction-y.

>because wa wa wa they actually care about oppressed populations?

at first you act like you're taking a the high middle ground by criticising both sides' vote-rigging and ideological politicking, but then you default to ABLOOBLOOBLOO GOD FORBID WE CARE ABOUT THE TRANNIES AND BLACKS YOU RACIST!! you are exactly why this thing needed to be blown into the open by an equal effort from the 'other side': because faggots like you will let it pass by without comment when it conforms to your ideological position, as you did last year, and then freak out and cry 'racism', revealing perfectly the 100% ideological character of your investment in an award for literary merit.

this is exactly why this was a good thing. the hugos have been a joke for ages but now they are a politicised joke. the end result of this is that the leftist majority opinion - the one capable of more easily manipulating them by default, and hence the first to do it - is now just as out in the open as the 'right wingers' who had to organise a little bit.

In other words, I'm hardly convinced by Internet Nationalists their ideal society would function well for anyone else. Because they just want to repeat glorious history and never attempt anything new.

You have people who believe in Capitalism who are nothing but sycophantic believers who think there are no faults within it or the modern conception of State.

>"Whenever we try to envision a world without war, without violence, without prisons, without capitalism, we are engaging in an exercise of speculative fiction," writes Imarisha in Octavia's Brood: Science Fiction Stories from Social Justice Movements, an anthology of short sci-fi stories co-edited by her and Adrienne Maree Brown. "Organizers and activists dedicate their lives to creating and envisioning another world, or many other worlds, so what better venue for organizers to explore their work than through writing science fiction stories?"

>Although the anthology features established names and writers like LeVar Burton, Tananarive Due and Mumia Abu-Jamal—who shares an essay about Star Wars and imperialism—the editors reached out to lesser known social activists and organizers as well, including some who had little to no experience with fiction and science fiction.

>Imarisha calls the progressive strain of sci-fi in Octavia's Brood "visionary fiction," defined by its insistence on imagining freer and more liberated worlds or critiquing injustice, rather than uncritically recreating the power structures of the world as we know it in fantastical garb.

>"Visionary fiction encompasses all of the fantastic, with the arc always towards justice," writes Imarisha. "We believe this space is vital for any process of decolonization, for the decolonization of the imagination is the most dangerous and subversive form there is, for it is where all other forms of decolonization are born. Once the imagination is unshackled, liberation is limitless."

Conditioning = Torture

Although there's plenty of reasons that the People's Republic of China failed, Mao actively turned the negative rule of Land Lords into a positive airing out of all problems in combination with various guidelines and rules which allowed people to become happier ten fold within that time period.

The way he did it, was once he got into power, land lords were held on trial, and people could air everything they were guilty of in front of them, in crowds. This made multiple ways of coercion easier, because it naturally placed Mao as the light of people being free from legitimately rotten exploiters.

On top of this, you have the Great Leap Forward.

If you read Mao, most of his work is genius. He psychologically lead people forward out of previous conditions.

Most ways to go about this don't involve much physical intimidation at all, you are naturally lead into these beliefs, you hold for life probably. But there's a convoluted set of environmental conditions that have to exist to allow them to happen.

Anyone smart enough could lead people towards this in a counter culture way, however. Once you realize it's all basically marketing, it all opens up.

The propaganda aspect isn't the poor kids they played around, it's the experienced comediant with a team of writers driving them to a series of set ups that are then edited a certain way to make the jokes land better. If Colbert didn't play with that ironic character thing, if it had been any other comedy central correspondent, he would had looked like a complete asshole to two kids half his age trying to explain the things he asked for. The joke of eating a buffet in front of people who were sharing the food and trying to last there was already a dick move in every way, it was a joke played on Colbert's character but it was a dick move for someone to do to someone else. Directing most of the discussion to the dumb looking voting system they had and then the dumb political correctness terminology she chose are also pretty obvious ways of not bringing up shit, they didn't talk about anything and the kids were trying.
It feels like to twenty naive somethings being played by a team of people twice their age backed by a corporation. How can someone think that represents anything is dumbfounding.

It's worse than that, they're not even real intellectuals, but more like faux-intellectuals. They're the kind of people who pick up a book, read it, see some fancy phrases and then quote it when talking to other people just to show off as "cultured" and "enlightened" when in fact they never processed the book through their own judgement. These anti-intellectuals are the kind of people who can't comprehend the idea that nobody will agree with them on EVERY issue, thus when they disagree on something, they immediately brand their "opponents" as heretics, racists, sexists, rape-apologists, conservatives, reactionaries [i fucking love when I see this one thrown around, since it doesn't mean jack shit in the end] and many other types of brain-dead smears. With this kind of people you can't actually hold a conversation since you either completely agree with them or you're branded the things I mentioned above. What's the point in talking to someone who is incapable of having his ideas challenged and that is so inflexible?

4chan is one example of this, with Stormfront doing the same previously.

Moldbug among others in what would be called among them "The Dark Enlightenment" would literally pass out custom magic the gathering cards with they're name on them in Magic games to market themselves.

As for the rest of your post, it's really funny that you tell that I'm here to "redpill you" while multiple people ITT throw slurs like "racist", "sexist" left and right, with no actual proof besides the "I don't agree with him".

And regardless if you see it or not, anti-intellectuals are all over the place. Too often I've seen radicals denying facts [sometimes with dumbass retorts as "you're mansplaining boi!"] and refusing any sort of insight beyond seeing the world in black and white. "I'm a bigot against bigots and if you think I'm a bigot, you're most likely a bigot" is a perfect quote of the way anti-intellectuals think, no measure, no thought, "with me or against me" mentality all the way.

thought control is for people who want to convince others but don't actually have enough conviction enough to put themselves at risk for it. physical coercion is for people who are willing to risk themselves against the one who is wiling to call their bluff.

also women will make the excuse that, on average, they exude less force than men and therefore incapable of physical coercion. this in itself is a form of thought control, as the concept of a lever has existed since time immemorial, but the simple truth is that they are weak of conviction and would rather not risk harm for such a minor gain.

I read Ancillary Justice before finding out anything about it.

Didn't know it was written by an SJW author
Didn't know it apparently pushed "liberal ideology"
Didn't know it won anything more than a Hugo

And I liked it. What it seems to me when I see threads like this, are people bandwagoning about a book they've never actually read, while completely misinterpreting how or why gender was used in the novel.

It wasn't pushing an ideology, it was used as a literary device because the protagonist is an AI within a society that uses a language without gendered pronouns. That was it. That is all this "omg liberalssss" butthurt is stemming from. Get a fucking grip on yourselves; I don't like the SJW's either, but your complaints about Ancillary Justice are fucking bunk and make you sound like the SJW's you claim to hate.

Talk about a sense of superiority

“The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing, have seen their territory invaded by a new kind of slave: the Portuguese.”

“The black is indolent and a dreamer; spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink; the European has a tradition of work and saving, which has pursued him as far as this corner of America and drives him to advance himself, even independently of his own individual aspirations.”

"We're going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing."

This comes from marxist feminism from the 80s actually. They use a marxist analysis of "social" class as their foundation for their concept of social power structures. Basically the cis white republiarchy is the bourgeois and everyone else the proletariat.

Pants on head retarded i know, but its an attractive ideology because it lets people blame their position in life on some unfalsifiable boogeyman.

Happened before.

It is 100% crystal clear that the leftist influence is dragging the hugos down into the mud.

NOw guys like pic related are being called racists and sexists and all the like because they decided that they could *use the rules of the convention itself* to make a difference.

Anyone who tells you this a 'right wing' thing is missing the fact that the nominees are from a variety of political backgrounds.

Right wingers are involved but its utter nonsense to suggest that its a right wing movement. THere is zero, ZERO factual evidence to back up the claims being made against them.

Correia wasn't protesting them necessarily for politics. He was protesting John Scalzi's clique and how they not only have a giant circlejerk in deciding upon the Hugo Award, but they also make it personal in that if an author does not agree with their political ideas and politics, they get snubbed. You guys can go ahead and say whatever you like, but I don't see Correia and his group in the wrong. An award for WRITING should be awarded based on the author's WRITING, not their political persuations. Even Anne Bellet, Kary English, and Rajnar Vajra backed up Correia. Why? Because fuck Scalzi's clique. It's doubly hilarious that the Sad Puppy used the exact same tactics that Scalzi and his group openly advocated, and there's nothing the latter can do about it. They can't even smear Sad Puppy as wingbats because there are women, non-whites, and liberals backing them up.

It's seriously a fucking sorry state of affairs that leftists in this country are now becoming the stifling, censoring entity that they railed against back in the 50's and 60's. What was once an ideology meant to encourage openness and freedom has now become the leftist version of HUAC.

Most prestigious award in sci-fi writing is the Hugo.

Small clique centered around a dude named Scalzi decide to use bloc voting to get people they like nominated. Since it's a popular vote, they all band together to vote for whomever the top of the clique wanted.

This went south because anyone that did not agree with their political or social ideas, which had ZERO relevance to the quality of their books, got deliberately snubbed. Many writers with libertarian or conservative leanings were particularly targeted and we have a 1950s-style blacklisting similar to how anyone accused of Communism was blacklisted by HUAC. These writers were deliberately snubbed just because of their politics, not their books. Scalzi and his group openly espoused this and basically go "neener neener neener" to everyone else.

A group of other sci-fi writers decide to fight fire with fire. They rally around a group that eventually became "Sad Puppy." This group encompasses many conservative writers, but also women, non-white, and liberal writers who are kind of sick of Scalzi's shit. They do literally the exact same thing as Scalzi's group - bloc voting - and since the majority of sci-fi readers aren't hard-line SJWs, they outnumber Scalzi's circle and get a book nominated for the Hugo that Scalzi's group finds "problematic," to use a Tumblr SJW term.

Now Scalzi's circle is freaking the fuck out, accusing everyone on the other side of sexism and racism (and hack journalists had to apologize since women, non-whites, and liberals are part of Sad Puppy), and now Scalzi's clique are shifting to GamerGate-esque tactics where everyone who voted with Sad Puppy "aren't true sci-fi fans."

The issue is Scalzi and his clique are having an apoplectic shitfit about it and acting like children who can't have cookies before dinner. Scalzi's clique once mocked conservative/libertarian writers and now they don't know what to do besides smear tactics. Their smear attempt failed because Sad Puppy is composed of, as I said, women, non-whites, and even liberals. Since Scalzi's group has no ammo left, they're using social media as their last resort.
