HWA seems to be very big on diversity. They even fund a Horror Diversity Grant.
What was said is only “racist” to the woke rascist turds.
Same with SFWA and RWA, science fiction and romance.
Hmm...in the words of Dave Chappelle, "That sounds like something that I would say."
I’m pretty sure HWA needs him more than he needs them.
I’ll laugh if this happens to Stephen King based on some of the raciss worded stuff in his earlier works...
If something has to be subsidized, it’s not something the marketplace wants*. So, it doesn’t matter if it’s subsidized, it will not sell. At least not to the marketplace. A woke producer might by the product, but the result is any movie or TV show based on a subsidized but unwanted product will fail.
* Notice how the sale of electric cars plummeted after the subsidy was dropped. Sure, people still buy them, but the stats show its largely to people who have a second gas car. So, why did they buy an electric car? Probably as a social statement.
If everyone just spoke their minds and accepted the consequences like Scott Adams did, these woke outfits would collapse because there would be nothing left.
I see. So THOSE WORDS will get you canceled, probably fired, ostracized, tarred and feathered, kicked out of the world.
Obviously THOSE WORDS are the worst crime, the unforgiveable sin from which there is no remission.
Refreshingly honest. Nowadays you have to be a member of Massolit to be either published or promoted.
Daily Bestial fabulist Dan Ladden-Hall [a hyphenated “they”] clutches his pearls so hard that he fell off his fainting couch...
You can only do that when you have F_ you money like Scott Adams and JK Rowling’s have. Otherwise it’s kiss your career goodbye.

When I was young until I used to enjoy the horror genre. Way back when I bought a horror anthology for the bedside table. I used this and detective fiction to get to sleep. The two genres are very much alike and entertain without taxing the brain. I switched to somewhat weightier somewhere along the line but came across the 30 something edition of that original anthology. I smiled and picked up a copy. Never finished it. Turns out all the “horror” turns on woke points. Ghosts of slaves , ghosts of wife and children beaters. I glanced ahead, every single story. Tossed it.
Not seeing any racism there. They’re just unhappy that he’s speaking truth to power.
“Otherwise it’s kiss your career goodbye.”
Or if you are 76 years old. At that point, if you haven’t “made it” you probably don’t care anymore.
Literally attacking a guy that anthologized a bunch of short stories from minor authors.
“..hate-filled words of one of the genre’s leading writers have left many feeling truly sickened”
So... where are these “hate filled words,” cause we’re not reading any in his comments.
