Fandom: Oh, Hugo, Where Have HuGone

[escritoireazul]

If I had an active fannish Twitter or Tumblr, I would have added to my profile: 100% Absolutely Positively Not a Hugo Award Winner. But I don't, so I shan't.

The Fanlore write-up of the controversy.

This is really putting me off the Hugos and Worldcon. Feels like another cultural clash in SFF, and I am really fucking tired of them. They're necessary and good changes can come out of them, but so tired.

I mean, that's just the language that the asshole version of attorneys use when they want to sound like fucking know-it-alls but they don't actually know shit and can't back it up without a couple-three hours of research and they don't want to do it for free.

I KNOW. I KNOW THIS ONE. Not only do I work with lawyers, I'm friends with some who ARE ASSHOLES. (I mean, they're larpers, most larpers are assholes, that's just a thing. I love larpers too, that's a paradoxical statement right there, I know.)
