>Why are you Hugos and the Nebula awards so shitty?

Because sf/f is so shitty lol

You didn't hear?

Gamergate tried to troll the Hugo Awards. Abused the nomination system to get racist white male and troll authors nominated.

Backfired, big time.

Also the guy who writes the "Space Pirate Butt Invasion" schooled them. Invited Zoe Quinn in his place, did other shit. Many laughs were had at MRAs expense.

What a joke. This will be associated with their award forever and undermines (is that possible?) this award even more.

I didn't realize the Zoe Quinn thing was an active move on his part. It's just a fucking shame that any literary award with someone in charge wouldn't do something about something as obvious as this.

This is a real book as well by him. Not fucking kidding even a little bit.

Yeah apparently it's a satire of the group that tried to disrupt the awards, as a part of his response to them trying to use him.

I've just read his AMA and it's actually pretty funny with how bizarre it is. I don't know what to believe anymore...

This still amuses me greatly, Chuck Tingle seems like an amazing man/woman/person

The only sad part is that Vox Day managed to slime his way into the 'Best Related Work' so that no award was given there, yet the other nomination 'Between Light and Shadow: An Exploration of the Fiction of Gene Wolfe, 1951 to 1986 ' looks like something that would have actually deserved the award.

But it confirms my prejudices that US-americans are toilet-people

This reminds me of what happens when you google santorum. That nomination will forever be a stele commemorating a dumber time.

Will Chuck Tingle's Hugo-related shenanigans, as a multi-media conglomeration of performance art, be eligible for the Best Related Work category next year?

No, he invited her to troll everyone, including her.

>>8427637
Let's just pack it up and give Chuck Tingle all of the Hugos, it's not like the other winners are actually good

>>8427326
Mentally ill psychopath receives Hugo for ironic porn.

I think even in Vox wildest dreams he couldn't have imagined destroying the Hugo's this hard and removing any kind of legitimacy it still had.

I know you guys don't give a fuck but damn, this is sad

It's actually Space Raptor Butt Invasion.

This is a natural result of the Hugos being the equivalent of an internet poll. The Boaty McBoatface of literary awards. Imagine the horror if the Nobel or the National Book Award was decided by a public vote.

The very fact that they gave awards out based on an effort to counter some literally who twitter guy delegitimizes everything the Hugos have ever, and will ever, mean.
