Hugo Awards: Not Enough Fantasy?

[kevin_standlee]

Some years ago, when a Harry Potter book won Best Novel, there was a protest at how terrible it was that Fantasy won a Hugo and that the "Hugo Judges" must Do Something about it. As I say in a comment there, I would like to put protesters of that ilk in with this poster who complains about there not being enough fantasy due to "the Hugo's blatant anti-fantasy bias." It would be amusing in a "Let's you and him fight" sort of way.

I don't know what books I like in your fantasy world, but I'm sure you'll happily tell me. In the real world I like all sorts of books, including some that are very long and contain knights. The difference between you and me is that when the books I like don't get nominated (and they very rarely do) I shug and assume that my tastes are not the same as those of others, whereas you invent entertaining and complex conspiracies to explain why the world doesn't see things you way, and then whine about how unfair it all is.

I'm not whining. I flinging poo.

At you.

Y'know, it's really rare when someone in an argument manages to insult himself by likening his own actions to that of an angry chimp.

Sure. Great advice.

She shits on a community of thousands of fans, and I'm the asshole. Go figure.

Pretty accurate summation.

If you truly think that, you're just the same sort of jackhole.
