Wow... I had no idea. I’ve been out of the loop for years, re-reading my old stuff...tried the new stuff, didn’t like it. I am old, I guess.

Try Doug Dandridge and Christopher Nuttall. I’ve enjoyed a lot of their stuff.

I’ve started reading classic scifi again — and of course I never stopped reading Bradbury! I wouldn’t waste a dime or time on modern woke writers.

This hatred of dead white males in conventions (writers and artists) has been going on for over a decade.
And it isn’t limited to complaints about their writing,etc. they hate them for being and for succeeding.

Ray Bradbury didn’t seem like a guy who could hate anyone but he would express displeasure at these firemen, just as he called out Michael Moore for being a “perfect a&&hole” who hijacked the title of his book and used it to bash America.

Bradbury learned from reading daily in the library.
Today’s crowd read Wikipedia at home. On a phone.

Sorry to tell you that Harlan Ellison died at his home in Los Angeles the morning of June 28, 2018. Age 84.

Thanks for the correction. I completely missed that one and am now reading what a friend wrote at the time of his passing.

I do not expect to get an answer out of them, but I suspect they do not like the idea of being pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered. Time to call out the big white ball.

Are you saying Larry Niven (not his heirs) was “woke”?
That would devastate me! Like him better than the classics.

If you click on my name I give briefs comments on some of my favorite science fiction—novels and short stories.

Asimovs mag went to hell the instant he was gone I dropped my years long subscription immediately after. A Poul Anderson or Bob Heinlein would never have gotten a single story published in todays woke fascism.

Agreed. My limit is also around the early 1990’s (Pournelle’s series on the Codominimum finished about then). Beyond that, it became very “culturally relevant”. Same for Fantasy as well. I find the older works to be much more enjoyable and (frankly) much less sexually explicit.
