As an old fart I bailed out of SF back at the turn of the century. I saw the genre being subverted by queers, by feminists and socialists and it was being perverted into propaganda for those groups. There is nothing you can do, Brad (never mind Vox Day) – to redeem the Hugos. To me that thing is a red flag for bad fiction. I don’t care if your chorfs or whatever they are – are defeated. I wouldn’t know a sad puppy from a rabid one and could care less. All I want is for some sane author to write an ENTERTAINING story, and from there—to shut up and take my money. I don’t care which one of the 150 genders you self-identify with, I don’t care what you think of that black baboon in the Whitehouse, I don’t care what you think of me – my sole interest in any work of fiction is entertainment – and SF is not delivering. This social justice BS is spreading to other genres now too. Fact is – any more of this puppy/chorf/Hugo crap just looks like so much gimmick marketing. I am not going to by a book written by a moron like Vox Day any more than I will buy dreck penned by Martin or Scalzi. At the end of the day their work is shite and not worth my money much less my time.

I did read a fun little ripper called Chaplain’s War awhile back. Yeah, it had its flaws and wasn’t perfect but IT WAS FUN. The guy that wrote it was just a guy wanting to tell a story and not a social crusader or a sexually disturbed ideologue out to change the world. I can tell you right now I will buy another one or two of his books when time permits me to read them. As for you, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Scalzi – and your lickspittles in the publishing industry: Fuck you. Anybody that plays dirty once will do it again if the opportunity permits, and frankly, I have better things to do than compromising with literary poseurs who have ripped me off by promising me a story and delivering turd polished political tripe instead.
