Did understand wrong, or did they actually set fire to the awards ceremony? How many dead/injured?
Right wingers aka the puppies used the process of the Hugos to keep out women, minorities, and other undesirables. Tired that too many guys like Scalzi or the chick that won last year were getting all the attention. They cloak it bullshit like "hard science", but it's obvious that they feel like they're losing "science fiction".
Left wingers responded to the jury rigging of the system with the No Awards.
Meanwhile, a translation by a Chinese American of a Chinese (mainland) Science Fiction novel took the top spot.
Same bunch of neckbeards have no problem believing in Faster than Light Travel, green humanoid aliens having sex with Captain Kirk and Elves, Orc and Dragons, but will flip their shit if Captain America, James Bond, or the Human Torch is black.
And most of these dudes are "smart" and have technical backgrounds. So they'll assiduously back up all of their claims with "science", and calls to authority, history, and tradition. Same "engineering logic" is all over the web. Shows up in technolibertarianism, people talking about gold as a reserve currency, and bunch of other shit that "would be great if only people listened man, and were logical dude"
Fighting for the Soul of the Genre, when back in the 80's nobody gave a fuck.
It's because of Silicon Valley, and the rise of nerd money, thus nerd power, that you see these things. Hashtag activism for the people who wrote the code for Twitter.
Same bunch of dudes who all throughout college complained that there were no chicks coming to the anime night @ Chemistry building, are mad as fuck that cosplay bitches run Comic Cons now. And have no problem being skeevy with the few bitches at work .

This nonsensical post is amounts to little more than an attack on the character of the people who supported the Puppies.
