An open letter to George R. R. Martin about the Hugos and fandom's SJWs
Dear George,

I generally share your sentiments at Hugo Aftermath - Not A Blog, but I envy your ability to write this:
There were no SJWs, then or now. There were only the Puppies... and the rest of us, who weren't Puppies, and did not like having their choices imposed on us.
Would that were so.

The first evidence that there are SJWs in fandom: Best Fan Writer went to Laura Mixon for writing about the worst of them.

...

It goes on and is well turning my text into a link:

Jack Vance would give SJW's an aploplexy, there is no way in hell he would ever win a Hugo award today, and this riduclous hobbit looking fat blob cunt supposedly reveres him as one of the fathers of contemporary sci fi.

Though it seems, from a recent tweet exchange with Melby, that my comment was only trapped by the spam filter so, presumably, it should show up shortly:

If the last few years have taught me anything, it's that nothing is out the window when it comes to the "correct" narrative.

Facts do not matter and events will be bent to serve the cause.

Somehow it will be the fault of the cameraman.

Reporter: white, but female

Shooter: male but a minority

Cameraman: white and male.

I hope I'm wrong... But I get a strange feeling that I'm not.

IIRC he made a complaint to HR that got him fired. Maybe the cameraman was a racist homophobe and the white anchor woman stole his job. That kind of is punching up right? :ugeek:

Not only was the cameraman a white male, but we know that all PIV (which I believe is the acronym for "person in viewfinder") is rape. He was a professional rapist!

ABC News wrote:In his manifesto, he says he encountered "nasty racist things" while working at WDBJ-7 in Roanoke, and that drove him to sue the station. "I marched down to the courthouse and sued WDBJ7 by myself and they settled! HA!"

He continues: "I can remember one day in particular... leaving the courthouse... feeling overwhelmed... confused... even some fear. But by golly I knew I HAD to fight. ... They truly f----d with my life and caused an awful chain of events." He says he even killed his cats in a forest "because of them."
So he sued a former employer he had a grievance with and he won a settlement. The poor guy just could not get justice.

I can't tell you the number of times that other people have made me kill cats in a forest, because if someone goes off into the forest alone to kill cats, someone made them do it. It is all their fault he killed those cats.

Stewart Lee tells an awesome story about being in a London cab when the driver turned and made an out-of-the-blue racist comment. They had a little discussion, and then Lee recounts how the driver responded to a point with "Ah, well you can prove anything with facts, can't you?".

7 Things to Remember If You’re a White Person Dating a Person of Color

August 17, 2015 by Melissa A. Fabello

...

when you’re a white person in an interracial relationship, there’s this whole – ohhh, ya know – white supremacy thing hanging in the air.

And that has to be acknowledged – and dealt with – constantly.

Lest your relationship be doomed – and your “No, Really, I’m a Decent Person” card be permanently revoked.

We talk a lot in social justice circles about how to attempt to be a better white ally to people of color – and a lot of that Allyship 101 advice can (and should) be directly applied to our intimate relationships.

...

1. Be Willing to Talk About Race

As a feminist and a woman, I could never be in a relationship with someone who didn’t feel comfortable talking about patriarchy. In fact, I often joke that my go-to first-date question is “What’s your working definition of ‘oppression?’”

Gender (and the social dynamics therein) is a part of my everyday life, both in how I’m perceived by the world and in the work that I do.

...

6. Power Dynamics Don’t Magically Disappear – Not Even During Sex

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard stories, especially from women of color, about white sexual partners saying all kinds of horribly racist, exotifying things in the bedroom without checking to make sure it was okay first.

From demands to “speak Spanish to me” to straight-up hurling the N-word the way one might “baby” in the heat of the moment, it’s clear that not all white people understand how to show basic respect and humanity toward their partners of color.

It’s important to remember that as a white person being sexual with a person of color, you’re in a position of power. The fact that you’re intimate with one another doesn’t erase that.

And it can be difficult for a marginalized person to feel comfortable expressing their needs without a safe space being intentionally created by the person of privilege.

...
blog post wrote:I’m currently in my third interracial relationship.

That is, unless you count my first boyfriend – José – who, in the second grade, long-distance collect-called me from Puerto Rico and got me in a lot of trouble with my dad. Then it’s my fourth interracial relationship.

But yeah, watching "Fear..." was like watching someone scraping nails on a chalkboard, without the excitement. Hopefully, it gets better.

I think we have come across a Carrier level genius solution to animal control.

But in Bryce's defense, I bet some of those cats has white fur and were oppressing him.

The problem is, fans can't have it both ways. The Walking Dead had terrible problems with character development specifically, (continual habit of ignoring show-don't-tell for clumsy exposition) all the way through to the last season, where they finally got some fresh characters in that weren't clumsy comic canon.

The writing in the first episode of FTWD was miles, miles tighter. Sure, not a lot happened, but it was about introducing the main family. I thought it as pretty decent.

I liked it a lot. A couple clunky points, most notably the main characters reacting with a passive "what's going on here" after watching a zombie, but otherwise pretty interesting. Highlight was the woman taking away the kids knife and telling him he's paranoid.

Frankly, the way things are going, if the rhetoric doesn't cool down, the U.S. may well end up with one. I was thinking about this last night.
While it is sad that two people have died, the media themselves recently have been the major culprit in causing divisiveness between ethnicities and so, as a consequence, it was likely it was only a matter of time before this happened.

Such a sad state of affairs than reasonable voices are being constantly silenced as the media in an an attempt at clickbait are willing to instigate riots and scoff at peoples concerns in order to manufacture news to report on.

This might seem slightly conspiratorial, but I genuinely believe the standards of media are so debased these days that they are often the source of many problems.

Stewart Lee tells an awesome story about being in a London cab when the driver turned and made an out-of-the-blue racist comment. They had a little discussion, and then Lee recounts how the driver responded to a point with "Ah, well you can prove anything with facts, can't you?".
Stewart Lee is a comedian, a very very funny one certainly but you seemed to have mistaken a joke of his for an actual conversation he had. He deliberately makes things up for comic effect and admits it, usually during his act.

The problem is, fans can't have it both ways. The Walking Dead had terrible problems with character development specifically, (continual habit of ignoring show-don't-tell for clumsy exposition) all the way through to the last season, where they finally got some fresh characters in that weren't clumsy comic canon.

The writing in the first episode of FTWD was miles, miles tighter. Sure, not a lot happened, but it was about introducing the main family. I thought it as pretty decent.
I like Fear, TWD gets boring when they absent mindedly smack zombies - its only now with character decelopment that it all means anything. You only have action, character and suspense. With action a very tenuous long term anchor.

So far Fear is working off 2, has good beginning store of 3 and doesnt need yet to draw on 1. I'd be happy not to see a Zombie for another couple of show. But thats a dream.

Well, aren't you the most intelligent fucker what ever was. I did think about adding a similar comment to yours but then thought "nah, it's funny as it is. Only a cunt would come along and point out that it probably didn't happen exactly - or even vaguely - as told".

Perhaps in reality it was Tanita Tikaram that made the comment (she's let herself go, BTW).

While it is sad that two people have died, the media themselves recently have been the major culprit in causing divisiveness between ethnicities and so, as a consequence, it was likely it was only a matter of time before this happened.

Such a sad state of affairs than reasonable voices are being constantly silenced as the media in an an attempt at clickbait are willing to instigate riots and scoff at peoples concerns in order to manufacture news to report on.

This might seem slightly conspiratorial, but I genuinely believe the standards of media are so debased these days that they are often the source of many problems.
We've got a twofer from Dworkins:

1) Comedians don't always tell the truth.
2) The media sometimes focus on, and exaggerate, certain stories so that they become amplified and increase media earnings.

I'm going with something about bears and forests next, though popes and religion is a close second favorite.

It goes without saying that anyone bringing a gun to a vox pop automatically wins the privilege wars.

Problem is the next level pits your handgun vs a militaried police force. Its a known game-imbalance, luckily the SJWs are petitioning for a patch.

*sigh* Aurini really is a megadong.

Also he went on camera saying "The holocaust deniers? I'm not saying I'm one of them but where there's smoke, there's fire..." , completely without irony.

It's all I have, sadly.

I can only aspire to one day having the amazing insight that the media might, perhaps, maybe, fool us into feeding on their milky pap by creating unnecessary content.

I have no idea why I have become so aggressive towards you. Actually, yes, I do: personal shenanigans, and I apologize.

So you are blaming the media for the murder of two white reporters?

What possible role does the media have in this when a reporter kills people on live television over race?

No need to apologise CH20. I actually enjoy a lot of your posts because of your uncompromising attitude.

That isn't Ashley Madison. He picked her up on a strip club. Bought $600 in lap dances, and then paid $1,500 for the act.

Said Porn Star wrote:“I actually really hope that his wife leaves him and takes his children away from him and leaves him a lonely, bitter man. I don’t think he deserves happiness.”
This coming from the woman who accepted $600 to perform private lap dances for him, and then accepted $1,500 to fuck him. I am sorry, but if you are doing that, you have no place to get on your fucking high horse and play moral judge and jury.

This is why you never fuck hookers.

Indirectly, I am. The role the media has recently played is to foment racism, causing, as I said, an increasing divisiveness. I think we have seen this over and over again, from Zimmerman, through to Ferguson. I assume that U.S. citizens and policemen of various ethnicities kill people of various ethnicities, yet the media always seems to focus on white cops and citizens shooting black citizens then having focussed on it brings in the most extreme rhetorical commentators to add fuel to the fire.

This has been, to me, extremely apparent in the case of Ferguson. Completely aside from the killing of Michael Brown himself, the media whipped up people into a frenzy, despite calls from reasoned voices on both sides of the argument for peaceful protests. Most of the black community organisers that even had a chance to speak, Brown's parents, the cops, the mayor all called for a cool down, but the media whether it have the pretence of being left or right, kept escalating the rhetoric until there were riots which make better news than peaceful protests.

So it seems that by propelling this narrative, they end up encouraging unstable and indoctrinated individuals to violent action.
