I've never read anything by Monteleone. Maybe I should get some of his books before he's canceled by Amazon.

HWA seems to be very big on diversity. They even fund a Horror Diversity Grant.

[Rurudyne]

What was said is only “racist” to the woke rascist turds.

[heartwood]

Same with SFWA and RWA, science fiction and romance.

He went on to brag that he won’t call “anybody that’s a single entity ‘they,’ ... Whoever came up with this nonsense needs to be taken out into the back and beaten with a rubber hose because it’s bullshit.”

Hmm...in the words of Dave Chappelle, "That sounds like something that I would say."

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m pretty sure HWA needs him more than he needs them.

[RandallFlagg]

I’ll laugh if this happens to Stephen King based on some of the raciss worded stuff in his earlier works...

[Gen.Blather]

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 want the USA back]

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.

[Ge0ffrey]

Refreshingly honest. Nowadays you have to be a member of Massolit to be either published or promoted.

[kiryandil]

Daily Bestial fabulist Dan Ladden-Hall [a hyphenated “they”] clutches his pearls so hard that he fell off his fainting couch...

I don’t know who this guy is - but I like him!

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.

[BenLurkin]

Not seeing any racism there. They’re just unhappy that he’s speaking truth to power.

[struggle]

Literally attacking a guy that anthologized a bunch of short stories from minor authors.

[Demiurge2]

“..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.

[Codeflier]

He should start his own Association. I bet he can pull a couple of writers with him. In a few years, I bet it would be bigger than HWA.

[Bubba_Leroy]

I have never heard of him before and I am not a fan of the genre, but I feel an overpowering urge to buy one of his books.

I won’t buy it from Amazon, though. I never buy books from Amazon.

[Bubba_Leroy]

He went on to bemoan the “odd posturing” he’d seen at previous iterations of the event, where one award was given to “a fat Black chick,” calling his words an “honest, reportorial description… This is who she is.”

I am a fat White guy. I'm old too. I am not offended by it. I proudly own it. It overcame a lot in life to get me to the point where I am now an old, fat White guy.

I think I am going to make it my pronoun.

[StormEye]

I read a book his in the mid 1970's called
"The Time Connection." I wanted to read it again
so I purchased an old copy I found on Amazon last year.
Actually I didn't think I would find a copy.

Glad to see the author is still alive and kicking and not
surrendering to the 21st century woke lunatics that are
trying to crash and trash American society.
