Even before coming across this site, just from glancing at the TV shows coming out, I knew that science fiction was extremely woke.
Not that I watch or read any of the new stuff coming out.
The goal is to rewrite history. Make whitey the scapegoat for everything bad in the world, and everyone else the victim.
Marxist infection is everywhere.
......I read through this manifesto or whatever it is and I sez to myseff, WTF....!! does it mean anyway,..??
As someone who reads a bit recreationally, I’ve noticed that anthologies of short stories have really been featuring much more diversity of authors and much less talent as authors.

I guess if any group should be expected to live in a fantasy world, this is it.
Science Fiction has been effeminate and faggotized for many years; Fantasy is even worse.
If you want SciFi that isn’t creepy and gross with all the queer crap, you have to look very carefully. The “military SciFi” genre is a good place to look. TV is a horrible place to look.
That’s why it’s time to go full Pinochet.
You are correct.
Yikes.....after reading that vision statement, I think maybe SFWA is helping heels-up write her word salads.....
It’s speculative fiction, and that’s bound to include speculation about all kinds of things, not just shoot ‘em ups.
“The SFWA is a trade organization for sci-fi writers.”
Sorry, you are obsolete. We have AI.
< sigh >
No. You’re mistaken. This isn’t speculation. This is kowtowing to the twin notions that White people are evil and that Men are useless.
I’m a fan of the 50’s Sci-fi movies.... You don’t see any DEI Woke shxt there.
In the future they’ll look back at entertainment and wonder why there’s a big empty in the Woke years ,LOL
Publishing House Baen Books Attacked by Cancel Culture.

Heinlein and Drake were always my faves. I could at least undersrand where they were coming from and what they were driving at.
Herbert’s first three books of the Dune saga were as far as I got. I’ve enjoyed them to that point.
Original Series Star Trek is my first thought when I think of Trek at all. Next Generation was hit-and-miss for me. Anything afterwards felt like more of the same and didn’t hold my attention.
My tastes for either begin somewhere in the 1920’s and end, for the most part, in the 1980’s.
Screw them! I am not rewriting my science-fiction novel for DEI. Nor will I write any future ones with woke or DEI, except to make a mockery of it.
