I’m still trying to finish the Nebula 1958 Anthology.
Seems to be a lot of prissiness among SciFi writings fans. Didn’t know that this even existed. Well, I guess political correctness infects even those who like non-existent worlds and people.
I’ve met a lot of Sci Fi actors/actresses and some writers. Found them to be very nice, educated, and friendly, even after spending hours at SciFi conventions. They seem to have a high regards for most of their colleagues (don’t get me started on the Shatner/Takei issue).
Why can’t we all just get along?
If you want to read or hear really nasty PC stuff, go to any American university campus today. Just tell the Moslem students that you are Jewish and see what happens. Tell the Marxists that marxism has killed more people than any other “ism” and they will deny it, justify it, or try to silence you.
Do the old Charles Bronson “finger pointing as a gun” gesture and you’ll end up in jail, even if you are 5 years old.
Say something negative about a liberal woman (esp. if it is true), and you are labelled a mysognist or whatever despite the fact that you are married to a woman. Now, if you are a man and married to a man, you might get away with it. If not, you’re toast.
Let’s let Sci-Fi writing remain one of the last PC-untouched bastions of literature. Otherwise, “beam me up Scotty, there’s no intelligent life down here.”
I had the rather odd thought that American Men should marry Russian women, and American women should marry Russian men...
Lets let Sci-Fi writing remain one of the last PC-untouched bastions of literature.
Too late. I let my subscription to “The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction” expire a couple years ago. I had subscribed since I got it as a birthday present in 1967 but it turned left. HARD left.
During the 2012 election they ran a story that was, not even thinly disguised, mormon-bashing. Add the tree-hugging, gaia-worshipping, human hating that is part of the warp and woof of leftism, and F&SF lost its charm.
They went from Ed Ferman, Isaac Asimov, Baird Searles, and all the great authors to being an organ of the DNC.
Hey, F&SF, ESAD! *spit*
