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.

Pretty much. I'm still boggling, a good week later, that anyone from an organization would wander into a space of hundreds if not thousands of new potential new members for said organization and... piss them off.

(I'm one of them! I had friends who went to Worldcon and made it sound like a lot of fun and had seriously been considering membership and even trying to attend in the future, but... yeah...)
