One thing I thought particularly worthy of note is what a small proportion of #GamerGate tweets are in response to the Hugo Awards. And notice that they didn’t move up until several days after the initial #SadPuppies spike. That’s what I find so amusing about the SJW panic about those they call “thugs” in their […]
The other day, I visited Mike Glyer’s File 770 in response to his post that Sad Puppies 4 has been announced, with the infamous Kate the Impaler taking up the black flag from Brad Torgersen. Kate the Impaler, of the Evil Legion of Evil, will be picking up the banner for Sad Puppies 4 and […]
SciFi Pundit shows that once again, if John Scalzi says it, you can be pretty confident that it isn’t true: WHATEVER: John Scalzi announced on his blog today that he had predicted white chocolate M&M’s in his book The Android’s Dream. Unfortunately for Mr. Scalzi, white chocolate M&M’s, called Pirate Pearls, were already on the […]
The pinkshirts have revealed their clever plan to deal with technology, reader disinterest, and Blue SF cutting into their increasingly declining sales: The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has reportedly paid University of Oregon “poet” Amanda Powell to translate a 2005 science fiction novel promoting “a straightforwardly queer approach to sexuality.” Powell, whose poetry […]
It doesn’t matter if they are anti-Sad Puppies or anti-GamerGate, they are the same sort of liars who will say anything in order to try to discredit the other side. One “Cat”, who may or may not be Cat Rambo, the vice-president of SFWA who recently announced her candidacy to lead the organization, has been […]
It was rather amusing to see a Whatever rabbit creep out of the warren just long enough to discover this place, only to run quickly away to warn all the other rabbits how dark and scary and terrible it is: I’m a fairly casual Scalzi fan. I read Whatever regularly and I’ve read almost all […]
Or rather, Brad’s right to put forth a list of recommended nominees as he has done. What Scalzi is actually trying to do is stake out a position in the middle ground in response to the post to which I linked yesterday while covering his ample backside in a deluge of rhetoric, but in the […]
This may explain why the pinkshirts are so remarkably shy about engaging with the Evil Legion of Evil: Dude, please. You’ve got 45 fucking Hugo nominations. Disqualify would be saying your opinion doesn’t count because you are a white male and have privilege. Shit. Looking at that picture you’ve got Santa Privilege. Instead the fact […]
The self-aware Trimegistus seems to share my incredulity: I ‘m an unbeliever (I stopped using the term “atheist” when it became a synonym for “self-righteous asshole”) and the staggering ignorance of other unbelievers always shocks me. I know I’m not an expert on theology; I know history, I’ve read Lewis and Sayers and St. Augustine […]
Saladin Ahmed @saladinahmed Not a single one of the TWENTY actors/actresses nominated for Oscars in 2015 is a person of color. Not one. That’s called white supremacy. Vox Day @voxday Actually, white supremacy is what prevents people like Saladin Ahmed from throwing gays off rooftops. Mr. Ahmed, in case you were unaware, is Pink SF’s […]
