Political correctness starting to corrupt Sci-fi, with some left-wing garbage winning awards.

Normally apathetic Sci-fi geeks got angry that bad writing was promoted, and were labeled reactionary for wanting “white male chauvinistic adventurers” as the only protagonists.

Just like the so-called “Gamergate” feud, PC-ness has gotten to the point of festering in pop culture that now normally apathetic people are upset.

That’s a good a summary as I have seen.

One thing to keep in mind that the Hugos were only chosen by 5,950 people who are supposed to represent all of fandom. Last year it was only 1,923 people voting. Bottom line the Hugo’s are tiny to the point of ridiculousness.
