back when chuck made the hugo awards ‘illegitimate’

this REPORT OF LEAKS regarding what actually happened at hugo awards shows a disgusting way. years of buckaroos working in and around hugo awards popularizing phrases like ‘chuck tingle made the hugos illegitimate’ when the rot was starting with them.

it is much easier to point at a queer nuerodivergent buckaroo who is an outsider and make the narritive ‘this is whats wrong with the hugos’ when behind the scenes they are doing things like this AND THEN GETTING REHIRED to work the next awards. ENTIRE THING NEEDS NEW STAFF

i was not planning on talking about this anymore but now that everything is out in the open i have to add something from the TOP ADMIN that has stuck with me. as a nuerodivergent bud we ALL KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS. we all know what you wanted to say when you said this instead

EDIT:

i would like to add something important here which is in the report but not clear from my post (and i know on social media we dont always trot in and read whole thing plus it is pretty long). it was NOT the government that did the censoring here, it was the western staff. here is a great thing to keep in mind from mary robinette kowal
