/z/scifi_books • Posted by revicon • 17 days ago
Summary:
  • In January of this year, questions began to swirl about the nomination process for the 2023 awards.
  • A report released on Feb. 15 by Chris M. Barkley, winner of the 2023 Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer, and Jason Sanford, a finalist for the 2023 Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer, revealed the truth behind the disqualifications: self-censorship.
  • Although the winners of the 2023 Hugo Awards were selected and announced months ago, questions still linger regarding the entire controversy.
  • For how long has the Hugo Awards committee allowed ballot manipulation to occur?
  • The sensitive political themes that 2023 Hugo Awards administrator Dave McCarty asked to be flagged in the inciting email seemed to specifically target Western Chinese diaspora.
