wokeness....
Yes, indeed for a long time now. Harlan Ellison refused to attend anything in a state that had not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment when it was alive.
Mar-Apr, 2021 issue of Analog has a bold and slashing attack against the presidency of Donald Trump, his supporters the hopeless rube morons (us) and the bright new hope by overturning traditional patriotism and America First insanity under the Dems. Sheesh!
Editor got “many” subscription cancellations and subsequently devoted a few pages to letting readers take swings at him.
But his magazine represents the last place where Larry Niven and similar authors would have regularly found a home. Asimov’s SF and F&SF have actually requested story submissions of gender changing, same sex couples in love and diversity. Total virtue signaling. Also climate change propaganda.
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.
Ellison hasn’t passed yet
Are you saying Larry Niven (not his heirs) was “woke”?
That would devastate me! Like him better than the classics.
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.
