Brad Torgersen
Correia also likes women. We’re not sure about Scalzi on that count. If you know what I mean.John Scalzi @scalzi
Brad Torgersen attempts to insult me by implying I’m gay; I respond. He attempts an apology; I respond to that too.
Does no one listen or learn? Never, EVER apologize to SJWs! Case in point: “The apology was worse than the initial attempted slur — it reinforced
the fact that Torgersen thinks calling someone gay is a slur.”
I repeat. NEVER APOLOGIZE TO SJWs. They will see it as fear, take the apology, and use it as a club with which to beat you. Never back down to them, never retreat, never apologize.Notice that this was all posted AFTER Torgersen apologized to Scalzi.
Hur hur, homophobia’s a gas when you’re a Sad Puppy!

Again: I’m mostly sad for the Sad Puppies. So much insecurity and envy and anger and need. For their own sakes, I wish they were happy.

Note that my pity for the Sad Puppies doesn’t preclude me pointing out they are assholes. And that they’ve made the active choice to be so.

Also, if I DID like men more than women, so what? That would be a perfectly good thing, nor would I be the slightest bit ashamed of it.

If Brad Torgersen wants to insult me, insinuating I’m gay won’t work. It’s not an insult to be gay. Be an insult to be a Sad Puppy, however.

If it’s not an insult to be gay, then why is McRapey acting as if it is an insult? And how has Brad Torgersen damaged his potentially promising career by not insulting someone?

Brad is just… so sad. He’s completely lost his grip, and unfortunately probably damaged a potentially promising career.John Scalzi @scalzi
If he has, I suspect he will attribute it to his politics rather than his personal behavior.
So, just a single insult of the wrong individual is sufficient to damage a promising career. That’s fascinating, in light of how we have been repeatedly assured that there isn’t any cabal or conspiracy or collection of people who will attempt to torpedo your career in science fiction over mere differences of opinion. After all, was it not Orson Scott Card’s personal behavior to which the SJWs objected when they attacked the Ender’s Game movie?
Was it not my personal behavior to which they objected when they attacked me on the basis of a syndicated op/ed column?
In the meantime, AN EDUCATIONAL DIALOGUE from the Evil Legion of Evil:
John Scalzi: “I’d rather like men than to be a Sad Puppy.”
Minion 189: “What do you mean when you say ‘like men’? Do you mean in the manner of owing someone a big favor in the Ground Forces?
John Scalzi: “Um, yeah.”
Big Gay Steve: “This can be arranged. I know a guy.”
John Scalzi: “SQUEEEE!”
The End
I don’t know about you, but I find it somewhat surprising that McRapey would publicly express a preference for being sodomized to seeing the likes of Jim Butcher or John C. Wright win a Hugo Award. It’s not exactly what you’d call a binary option.
