The SFWA is a trade organization for sci-fi writers.

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.

Was it not Gor that was the epitome of sexual hygenics and male testosterone back in the 70s and 80s?

Does this mean that black people are finally going to be allowed to write science fiction?

Or that black people will now be allowed to read science fiction?

The original series of Star Trek would not have been quite as successful if they had a scene of Kirk making out with a Horta.

Who died and put these lunatics in charge of Sc-Fi writers?

The correct response is to laugh in their faces and flip them the bird on your way out the door.

I’ll stick with the many, many works of the late, great Ray Bradbury over today’s woke sci-fi crap.

Was. They gave up their claim to being that when they dropped the requirement that prospective members have a minimum number of professionally published works before they could join.

Science fiction is now woke? Guess that means I can avoid it.

Per the above, the number of books sold is decreasing.

Gee, I wonder why.

Thank God for backlists...

There is more than ample non woke SF about. Heinlein, Clark, Asimov and Vance may be dead but their writing lives on.
