I'm sorry, are you telling me that in a speculative fiction market as vast and increasingly diverse as what we're in now, only 3 people have won the editor award from Locus since 1989??? This is Hugos-level bad voting practice. Come on y'all. Read more widely.
Hot take but if you have 17 wins, it's long past time for you to stop accepting the nomination. You don't build a community by hoarding trophies. Hold the door open, not close it behind you. Esp if you're white. You already have access behind the gates. Use your privilege to help those without it.
Can't imagine being the kind of person watching BIPOC authors and publishing staff increasingly get forced or locked out of my industry and my response is "17 wins isn't enough." That's colonizer shit.
Locus itself won the Best Semi-Prozine Hugo Award for 27 straight years, because thatβs exactly how massive a narcissist Charles N. Brown was. The entire category was basically an open joke.
