Tell me more about these rapid puppies. Are they superpowered? Over-caffeinated? Subway drivers?

[(Anonymous)]

Think Gamergaters but in science fiction fandom instead of video games.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, that's disappointingly boring. In that case, I'm guessing the word you're looking for is "rabid."

[(Anonymous)]

Sad and Rabid Puppies are the name for the movement (sad puppies are slightly less extreme, rabid puppies are truly nuts) - OP isn't using the word as a descriptor, it's the name of the thing

[(Anonymous)]

nayrt - re-read the secret. op wrote 'rapid'. it's right there. that's what ayrt is commenting on.

Meh. Sad Puppies actually didn't bother me that much. I believe that during one year, it was actually headed by women. It's the Rabid Puppies that is filled with racists and misogynists.

[(Anonymous)]

Sad Puppies is basically a normal conservative movement with your normal mix of whites, non-whites, men and women. Rabid Puppies are the alt-right.

[(Anonymous)]

The reason I like this analogy is because the Sad Puppies are basically ineffectual except as a polite cover for the Rabid Puppies, who they largely support

[cbrachyrhynchos]

As far as I can tell, they've mostly grumped off now that EPH is in effect to their own message boards and have thrown their weight behind the Dragoncon awards.

I think Wright and Beale supported "comicsgate" but no one showed up for that.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah, there was a split for a reason.

That said, Sad Puppies was never intended to last. It just got way more attention than initially expected.

[(Anonymous)]

The Sad Puppies bother me because they're the "polite" face of the racists and misogynists. They're the thin end of the wedge, the prettier branch of the same diseased tree. It's unfortunate that people get taken in by what is basically one big dogwhistle movement "covering" for its toxic colleagues.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. I haven't seen any evidence of racism from the Sad Puppies. Just the Rabid Puppies; now there's some pretty disgusting stuff coming out of that particular group.

[(Anonymous)]

More like a group of pathetic mostly straight, white dudes who are scared that SF/F is being taken over by minorities, liberals and feminazis - a catastrophic event that only they have the power to stop before the world ends. Right up there with Gamergaters and red pill types.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Puppies

The Wikipedia entry doesn't really communicate just how hilariously pathetic they are, but it gives you a rundown of the timeline and major players.

Ayrt was making a joke about the typo.

[(Anonymous)]

For reference, this guy’s a Rabid Puppy: https://fandomsecrets.dreamwidth.org/923340.html?replyto=703134156
