The Science Fiction Writer's Association has been purging itself of conservative and libertarian authors for years after the Sad Puppies movement tried to challenge the use of "social justice" messaging as a factor in deciding Hugo nominees.

Now they've doubled down by:

* banning Hispanic science fiction author Jon Del Arroz from Worldcon

* the head of SFWA publicly criticizing Moira Greyland, daughter of Marion Zimmer Bradley and Walter Breen, after her book on her sexual abuse and the sex crimes of both her parents came out

* the active purging of conservatives from nominations for scifi awards and seeking to ban them from conventions

* attacking (including death threats) to anyone who criticizes the SFWA's purely political exclusionary acts or who defends authors like Arroz and Peatland

This is aside from the comic world's injection of social justice into everything and liberal bullies trying to get all conservatives purged from the industry. It is so bad that a liberal illustrator who worked on Jon Del Arroz's crowd-funded Alt-Hero comic was denied work, simply for taking on that project.

This blog provides a detailed history of social justice bullies seeking to purge the SFWA of conservatives, exclude prominent conservatives from events and seeking to punish through means from death threats to "weaponization of poverty" over the past few weeks.

Does anyone really need the SFWA anymore? There are plenty of ways to get published and read without them. Seems like a battle that does not need to be fought.

As for Worldcon and other conventions if they continue with such absurd rules and regulations they will eventually die or just become giant Cosplay contests, whichever is worse...IMHO

If it is a Hugo Award winner it is an immediate NO from me. I get a lot better fiction self published ow than the ‘established writers ‘.

Some good info on the whole thing, including the alt-hero comic is over at Vox Day’s site:

I know. I contributed to the Alt-Hero comic crowd-funding project.

It isn’t just the organization. It is liberal bullies taking over institutions and then actively excluding conservatives from said groups while trying to shut them out of industries, as well.
The owner of Diversity and Comics is getting the same treatment as Arroz, because he criticized the SJW comics that came out and the liberals saying you’re evil bigots if you don’t buy them.

I’m in for the Rebel t-shirt, myself.
