beatrice_otter: A horserider with a glowing blue sword--from the cover of Robin McKinley's The Blue Sword (Blue Sword)
Matthew David Surridge, nominated for Best Fan Writer on the Sad Puppy Slate, goes into great detail about why the reasoning behind the Sad/Rabid Puppies Slate is completely wrong and why he is declining the nomination.  He doesn't go into great detail about the racist/sexist aspect of their thinking, but demonstrates quite well that their entire perception of the history of SF/F and the Hugos is pretty much dissociated from reality, and why that means they are completely wrong about what's happening in modern SF/F and whether or not it's a good thing.
