well, they're claiming that some stories aren't voted on for their quality but on the political leaning of their writers, which is an additional reason why the Hugo is flawed.
good edit -- social justice warrior is such a nothing term I can understand that but I think that people want to overpoliticize representation in literature. If people write about their reality as a woman/person of color/non-straight or cis person, that's not about politics that's about lived experience.
Right but it doesn't sound like that was the case? Full disclosure I don't know the media that won but from what I've seen it looks well rounded and meets the requisites of sci-fi
Sure. I think an expanded audience would inherently lead to expanded pool of nominees for the awards and I think people will vote for what they identify with rather than a story that's been told before. And that's how the genre grows.
