>"Author NK Jemisin has scooped her third Hugo award for best science-fiction novel and, in doing so, has become the standard-bearer for a sea change in the genre’s diversity, as women – especially women of colour – swept the boards at last night’s ceremony.

>"On making it a hat-trick with The Stone Sky, the third book in her Broken Earth series, Jemisin said: “As this genre finally, however grudgingly, acknowledges that the dreams of the marginalised matter, and that all of us have a future, so will the world.”"

>"The diversity of this year’s Hugo awards signals an end to influence of the Sad and Rabid Puppies, two groups of rightwing and conservative science-fiction and fantasy fans and authors that attempted to nominate authors who they felt were not “overtly to the left”"

There's more political diversity in pre-1990 science fiction than most people realize. H.P. Lovecraft was a hardcore xenophobe who wanted America to be purely WASP. Poul Anderson was a right-leaning libertarian. Robert A. Heinlein was originally a socialist but he abandoned those views in the 1940s and became a libertarian. Ursula K. Le Guin was a feminist but she was also an anarchist. John W. Campbell was a racist who was against government regulating industries. Gene Wolfe is a hardcore Catholic. Orson Scott Card is a hardcore Mormon who openly doesn't like gays. The list goes on.

Victoria's reign ended in 1901 (which you might prove is after 1895 if you do some. math) but the era is often extended and considered to have ended in 1910 at the end of the reign of Edward, or the start of World War I.

By the way, what my pic fails to mention is the author who lobbied against Lovecraft was Daniel José Older (an uber hack who cares more about "diversity" than quality) and his lobbying was a petition that garnered less than 3,000 signatures. Keep in mind that petition was covered by The Guardian and over major news outlets so it's hilariously pathetic that even with mainstream recognition it miserably failed to garner a decent amount of signatures. However, the World Fantasy Awards are run by cucks who gave into Older's weak pressure.

That isn't the argument, you faggot. Stop shifting the goalposts. You claimed Jews have totally dominated science fiction since the Victorian era came to a close and that isn't true.

Talk about shifting the goalpost! My original claim was that Jews dominate science fiction. Not that the all science fiction authors are Jewish, or even the majority.

You're arguing in bad faith. This much is clear to anyone.

I wasn't referring to authors. I wasn't even referring to prose fiction. The culture industry is dominated by Jewish gatekeepers, producers, publishers, and editors. The ones who aren't ethnically Jewish are shabbos goyim or golems such as yourself.
