Oh, wait, someone did, and Wikipedia tells me the series is up to 13 books and some spinoffs! You could take the Napoleonic War HORNBLOWER series and replace all the wooden frigates with spaceships, for example, and we'd buy the shit out of it. Really, you could just go through traditional adventures stories and give them SF window-dressing, and we'd love it. Which are cool, by the way, I'm just contrasting with a genre that is "for girls", not "for boys" like SF.) They are as scientific as sparkly vampires. We don't care about science: if we did, we wouldn't read "science" fiction that ignored biology, psychology, economics, and indeed physics (there are NO FTL DRIVES.

It's also full of horrible sexual violence. I mean, have you read the Atwood MaddAddam series? It's brilliant, classic SF, exploring human societies at breaking point. However, it's fucking miserable and full of rape. But go and read some Atwood, Tiptree, Miéville: it's great, it addresses real questions about the human condition in the way that pulp "alien robot invasion" rubbish simply doesn't. As a white, straight, Western man, I can freely speak for my fellow SF readers: we got into this as teenagers because of the spaceships, explosions, and adventure. I have some sympathy for the "Puppies" argument. Posted by the turtle's teeth at 2:05 PM on Ap

There's really no mistaking their message: Women aren't welcome in science fiction. And not only is the ballot filled with remarkably unremarkable work, it also happens to be the most uniformly male selection we've seen in quite some time. I had work that was eligible this year, many many of my friends had work that was eligible, and instead of a celebration of the most popular and memorable work among fans it's just this political stunt that is painful to observe. It's stupid and ridiculous and mock-worthy but it kinda hurts too. a cabal of shitty writers who, in their own words, are dedicated to fighting the "SJW glittery hoo ha crowd," figured out that they could game the award by getting friends, family members, random misogynists online, etc, to buy supporting memberships and stack the ballot in their favor. The Hugos are a slightly unusual award in that anyone who buys a supporting membership to WorldCon is allowed to vote in them.
