#SadPuppies, The #GamerGate of Sci-Fi

HUGO AWARDS NOMINATIONS SWEPT BY ANTI-SJW, ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN AUTHORS SHARE 2289 EMAIL + SHARE 29TWEET 1490 by ALLUM BOKHARI4 Apr 2015 546 What a time to be alive! Liberals write for Breitbart, a cartoon girl in green and purple is a symbol of terror for the authoritarian Left, and now an online campaign with a manatee for a spokesperson is exposing political cliques in the world of science fiction and fantasv publishing In February, we reported on the "Sad Puppies" campaign, a tongue-in-cheek bid by science fiction & fantasy (SF&F) authors to draw attention to an atmosphere of political intolerance, driven by so-called "social justice warriors," that is holding the medium back. Spearheaded by authors Larry Correia and Brad R. Torgersen, the campaign sought to break the stranglehold of old cliques by encouraging a more politically diverse group of fans to take part in the annual Hugo Awards The #GamerGate of sci-fi Despite the outrage, the Sad Puppies campaign has been a resounding success. A new class of sci-fi fans has been introduced to the process, and the CHORF clique has suffered a major, and perhaps fatal, blow to its authority. The dominance of TOR books and its associated clique has been broken, and publishing houses that respect political diversity, such as Baen Books and Castalia House, now have a seat at the table Vox Day, Lead Editor of Castalia House, commented on the nominations I'm very pleased that science fiction readers so strongly supported the Sad Puppies recommendations. Its fantastic to see John C. Wright, one of the true grandmasters of science fiction, finally receiving some long-overdue recognition. It's a real privilege to publish him and we're delighted to learn that his six Hugo nominations this year set a new record A professional game designer and early supporter of #GamerGate. Day credited the gamers' rebellion with giving hope to sci-fi fans The connection between Sad Puppies and #GamerGate is that both groups are striking back against the left-wing controlfreaks who have subjected science fiction to ideological control for two decades and are now attempting to do the same thing in the game industry. #GamerGate has shown people in science fiction, in fantasy, in comics, and even in journalism that you don't have to hide what you truly think anymore because SJWs are going to attack you and try to drive you out of a job. You can read, write, develop, and play what you want without fear of their disapproval. Vox Day is well known in the sci-fi community as a right-winger. But people of all political persuasions have rallied to his call for intellectual, political and creative freedom. That, ultimately, is what the Sad Puppies hope to achieve - a community where creativity and artistic merit count for everything, and where social and political conformity count for nothing
