Social justice warriors in the scifi industry have:
* successfully applied SJW standards to several industry awards, so if you don’t match their political checklist, you have no chance of winning
* “diversity readers” are being adopted by many publishers where devout SJWs read the works and speak for their demographic group and say “this is offensive, rewrite or we’ll reject”
* conservative writers male and female are being dis-invited from conventions and harassed online without penalty by those doing so
* liberal hate mobs often respond to a scifi author’s conservative statement in an interview or blog by organized downvoting campaigns for reviews, hurting sales indirectly and killing your SEO

I had read about the diversity readers. It’s more widespread, apparently, than I realized. A sad state of affairs.

Brandon Sanderson is hated by the left but he does amazingly well in sci-fi/fantasy.

I don’t believe this is legit. Maybe a few isolated cases but probably not very widespread.

I don't think it is going on at Baen Book. Which, looking at my book shelf, is about the only place I seem to buy new books.
