This revelation throws into question every Hugo Award ever given. If the US & Canadian admins quietly disqualified people for political reasons this time, have they done it before? Will they do it again?
People keep asking me if this is worse than the Puppies. YEAH. THIS IS WORSE THAN THE PUPPIES.
For the last few weeks I've been working with Chris Barkley @cmzhang42.bsky.social of @file770.bsky.social on a report about censorship in the 2023 Hugo Awards.
Leaked emails and files indicate authors and works deemed “not eligible” for the awards were removed due to political considerations. 1/3
What's even worse is that the 2024 Hugo Admin, Kat Jones, was a participant in the censorship and then released a statement complaining about the fact that it became public. @glasgow2024.bsky.social needs to throw her out on her ass.
