I’ve spoken with Moira and she has endorsed the idea of creating the Marion Zimmer Bradley Awards for Normalizing Sexual Abnormality in Science Fiction and Fantasy. We have a whole host of ideas for various categories, including:
- Most Inappropriate Presence of a Minor
- Most Cringeworthy Sex Scene
- Most Disturbing Interspecies Relationship
- Best Surreptitious Introduction of a Gay Character
- Creepiest Author Photo
- Edward Kramer Memorial Most Likely to be Arrested for Sex Crimes
- David Asimov Memorial Most Likely to be Found with a Gargantuan Kiddy Porn Stash
- Most Transparent Excuse for Having Sex with a Minor
- Gene Rodenberry Memorial Best Star Trek-related Work
- Best Imitation of a Landwhale
- Best Anti-Christian Screed
- Most Luxuriant Neckbeard
- Walter Breen Memorial Best Defense of Pedophilia
- Worst SF or Fantasy Novel
- Worst SF or Fantasy Short Work
- Creepiest Comics Panel
- Creepiest Film/TV Scene
- George R. R. Martin Memorial Most Egregious Rape Scene
Anyone got any more category ideas? I’m thinking four nominees per category. This is going to be a world-famous award, and we don’t want too many nominees out there bragging about their Bradleys.
Of course, we’ll have to sort out precisely who is permitted to nominate and vote on the awards, and if there is going to be registration or other sort of limitation on participation, such as presenting evidence of having purchased a Castalia House book.
Regardless, no SJWs or pedos will be allowed.
UPDATE: Moira suggests “Never Turn your Back on a Breen” be engraved on the award.
