I hate to say this because I loathe the SPs but that kind of thinking is what set them off. Yes, they are overreacting to the nth degree but, while I totally understand liking something in part because of liking the not-cis-straight-white-maleness involved (I'm openly excited for Star Wars VII because the hero is black!), we should celebrate good SF for what makes the work truly good and unique. Women can still write bad books ("Save the Pearls" anyone?) and a character's race doesn't automatically make them more interesting. APPEALING, perhaps, but a crappily written character will make you hate how they represent a group, with or even without racist undertones. Diversity is important and should be promoted but quality MUST come first.

Which is probably why they mentioned it's "wonderful and deserving of all the awards" first. Anon isn't suggesting we submit shitty work just for the sake for diversity, they're hoping that it wins because it's good AND would piss off the SPs.

I would sort of argue that a lack of diversity is an inherently shitty way to write. I mean women are over 50% of the population, what kind of terrible Deus Ex Machina plotholes do you have to come up with to exclude them? Except those plotholes are so common we've learned to shrug and overlook them, even though they're inherently bad writing.
