It turns out that the CCP was too busy drawing up plans for their invasion of Taiwan on March 15, 2024 to actually be rigging a science fiction convention. Instead, the Hugo committee did it for free. :marseyjanny:

One of the western Hugo admins came forward with emails (and an apology). They show that the western WorldCon committee members (not the Chinese members) made dossiers on authors (including the 2 writing this report) to see if there is anything in their works, backgrounds, or public comments that would be politically problematic in China. 4 works appeared to be eliminated from the long list for this reason.

They seethed about the Sad Puppies for "manipulating" the system (openly, while following the rules). Then they censored the Hugos because they were scared of upsetting the Chinese government, and lied about it until the emails leaked :marseyhillarybackstab: . You can't make this shit up. I hate liberals, but I do love President Xi and the People's Republic of China. :marseysalutechina:

On June 6, Kat Jones wrote an email to the administration group titled “Best Novel potential issues.” In the email, Jones raised concerns about the novels Babel, or the Necessity of Violence by R. F. Kuang and The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. Jones wrote that Babel “has a lot about China. I haven't read it, and am not up on Chinese politics, so cannot say whether it would be viewed as ‘negatives of China'” while adding that The Daughter of Doctor Moreau talked “about importing hacienda workers from China. I have not read the book, and do not know whether this would be considered ‘negative.'”

>Choose gayest and trans friendly stories written exclusively by BIPOC authors

>This will surely get us on China's good side

What's the endgame here? Are they trying to sell science fiction novels/short stories to the chinese?

This is so weird.

Think reflexive people pleasing, but to the extreme. The only goal is to be liked and ‘on the right side of history.'
