More on the Hugo Mess

[beatrice_otter]

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.
