George RR Martin says rightwing lobby has 'broken' Hugo awards

4. Sad Puppies are the GamerGate morons of Science Fiction.

There is tons of crossover between the two groups with Breitbart and right wing YouTube personalities leading the charge. One of their leaders is Theodore Beale ,known as Vox Day who used to be a writer at World Nut Daily and has incredibly reactionary views,as an example:

Theodore Beale, known by his pseudonym Vox Day,[1] is a science fiction author, game designer,[2] musician,[3] pseudo-libertarian, anti-vaxxer,[4] racist,[5] Christian apologist, pickup artist, stalker[6], and all-round fucking idiot. He is the epitome of evidence that not all artists are sensible, intelligent people, contrary to stereotype. He is a former pundit for WorldNetDaily (which says a lot about the demographic he's pitching to). Vox Day also has his own blog, "Vox Popoli," on which he attempts to "disprove" atheism, environmentalism, and liberalism through extensive use of poorly-thought out attacks. He also wrote the book The Irrational Atheist: Dissecting the Unholy Trinity of Dawkins, Harris, and Hitchens, which pioneered some of the most popular methods of "debating" atheists (mostly just calling them names). He is the only person to be kicked out of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in its nearly fifty year history.


He's active in both GamerGate and Sad Puppies.
