For those here who are into books, you may be interested in the rapidly devolving firestorm surrounding this year's Hugo's. Short version is that the Waffen Social Justice Warriors brigade is up in arms and having a massive case of the vapors over this year's nominations. So much so they are threatening to nuke the award and make it totally irrelevant. In the process, they've told myself and others that we are not real fans of science fiction and fantasy. Elsewhere, I've suggested that we are "Franks" and probably need to do a post on that. Meantime, over at my place, I've got my response to being told I'm not a real fan (or author) that you may enjoy. Oh, part of the vapors come from the fact that Tom Kratman, Michael Z. Williamson, and other such evil-right-wing-cisgender-homophobic-racist-slur-of-the-moment veterans were nominated. There are a number of long overdue nominations this year. To ALL those nominated this year, my sincere and full congratulations!
