    Space Raptor Butt Invasion

    There is an increasingly chilly reception to anything other that racist, right wing propaganda screeds in the Hugo awards. The mechanism of this seems to be something similar to the effort to "pack" New Hampshire with "libertarian" voters and hijack the electoral process.

    Welcome to the bizarre world of Space Raptor Butt Invasions:

    How did 'Space Raptor Butt Invasion' by Chuck Tingle become a Hugo finalist?



    Why on earth — or the rest of the solar system — is a book called "Space Raptor Butt Invasion" by Chuck Tingle up for a Hugo award?

    Thank the puppies.

    They sound cute, but for the second year in a row, politically motivated groups calling themselves the Sad Puppies and the Rabid Puppies have more or less successfully gamed the Hugo Award nominations, some of the most prestigious prizes in science fiction and fantasy. The Chuck Tingle book is one of their recommendations.

    What's their motivation? The puppies oppose diversity initiatives and support lists that are dominated by white men. Their targets, which they call SJW for "social justice warriors," are women, people of color, LGBT writers, editors and artists and the people who support them, including L.A. Times Critic at Large John Scalzi.

    Rabid Puppies leader Vox Day, a self-described libertarian, has criticized best-selling science fiction writer N.K. Jemisin, who is black, as an "ignorant half-savage," writing, "Unlike the white males she excoriates, there is no evidence to be found anywhere on the planet that a society of NK Jemisins is capable of building an advanced civilization, or even successfully maintaining one without significant external support from those white males."

    George R.R. Martin has criticized both the puppies' agenda and their aesthetic. “When the Hugo ballot came out last year, it was not just a right-wing ballot, it was a bad ballot,” he told the Guardian prior to Tuesday's finalist announcement.

    The Rabid Puppies, the more extreme of the two groups, this year created a slate of potential nominees that they urged Hugo voters to nominate. Out of 81 recommendations on that slate, 64 ended up shortlisted.

    Okay...so if I understand the story, the "puppies" got this "Butt Invasion" novel nominated because they want people to think that it is a representative example of diversity in sci-fi? Kind of like someone claiming that gay comedians can't be funny and pointing to Andy Dick as an example?

    Absolutist, simplistic statements such as your comment above do not do any favors for the conservative cause, and open the door to totalitarian acts.

    All opposition? What about just arresting them all and gassing them in cattle cars? Would that be good?

    So you have basically admitted you are a totalitarian? Which flavor? Stalinist, or Nazi?

    Um... yes, you have. By implication.

    >>>"All opposition to the silly sjw is good."

    In normal speech between sane adults, the word "All" is a Universal and literally means: anything and everything.

    Simple Definition of all


    And "anything," Peter, means that "opposition to the silly sjw" includes the use of government force.

    >>>"You[R] illogic is shocking."

    Your ad hom might be a tad more effective if you learned basic grammar. But I understand that you were undoubtedly typing with only one hand, and hurried in the anticipation, and that your view of the monitor was jiggling around from the strenuous effort.

    Have you been ill recently? You aren't very good at this.

    You are stretching. When you find yourself in a hole it is best to stop digging. You only look more silly.

    And that, Peter, includes government force.
