Re: Hugo Awards

[(Anonymous)]

Amazing how the gatekeepers haven't been able to "bury" all those big names of SF who aren't liberal, eh? Robert A. Heinlein, Jerry Pournelle, Larry Niven, David Weber, Poul Anderson, Orson Scott Card... all poor, persecuted souls who toil away in complete obscurity, thanks to the vast liberal conspiracy. Why, they've even managed to silence modern day prophets like Vox Day, Larry Correia, John C. Wright and Brad Torgersen, right? None of those guys are allowed to voice their views and they don't have any following whatsoever because nobody's ever heard of them. Totally buried by those nasty gatekeepers. Oh wait...

If your work doesn't seem to be getting the attention and accolades you believe it deserves, there may be many reasons for why that is. But being "buried" by these so-called gatekeepers (zero evidence for them, BTW) is not one of them.

Well, no, because the gatekeepers (by which I mean the vast majority of editors, including magazine, ezine, and Big Six book publishers) may be liberal ideologues, but they also have an eye on their bottom line. The people you named above make piles of money for them, so they're not going to shoot the golden geese. That would be stupid. I don't think they're stupid.

Up-and-comers may be a different story. I didn't make a complaint about my own work; it's doing fairly well, actually, and I've got a novel and a few shorts coming out soon, published by people not me. I just said I felt like I needed to keep my mouth shut. I could be completely wrong about this impression. I hope I am, in fact, because I don't like to think that people I respect on a professional level could be that petty.

But why should I take chances? See how anonymous I'm being?

Maybe once I'm sleeping on a mattress made of money in a solid gold house on Yard Moose Mountain, I'll speak up more. At this point, I mostly don't. Because I don't need the personal or professional headache.
