I find it so strange that there is actually criticism about the thirteenth Doctor being a woman. I’ve always assumed sci-fi fans would tend to be liberal in their thinking and Doctor Who in particular always felt to me that it had a liberal tendency. Once again, humanity has disappointed me lol. (Also I should really catch up with episodes before the internet spoils me on what happens with Twelve/Bill/Master/Missy/etc)

couple of years running, the Hugo Awards were nearly hijacked by asshole fake geek boys trying to take sff works written by non-white non-male folks off the ballots for the various categories. it got really damned messy.

i wonder if Kate Mulgrew got similar flack when she became the first female Star Trek captain.

Probably the same subset of ppl who label people "fake geek girls". Also, i need to watch the capaldi eps as well.

Why strange? I'd say the majority of scifi fans are liberal in thinking, but that's not universal. I know genre fiction authors who are staunchly conservative, and I'm also aware that there's a section of the fansbase who are liberal in everything else but get stuck in "rules and tradition" of a franchise.

of all the genres of popular lit, sff is possibly the most toxic, if we're looking at the Western authors
Roy Tang
that didnt make sense to me either :p

having read one of the trilogies that really is worthy of the idea of sff – no surprise it challenges the very concept and nature of gendered language, and no surprise it was written by a woman – my conclusion is, sff fanboys are fucking idiots to the very marrow, and aren't worthy of the genre at all

I've seen some in the same vein re: star trek discovery.
