Last year I predicted that if we rebuffed the SF SJWs’ attempt to establish a beachhead at Dragon Con, the Dragon Awards would grow beyond any group’s ability to control. In 2017 your votes ensured that SJW entryist John Scalzi didn’t become an albatross forever dangling from the Dragon’s neck. The results speak for themselves.
Check out this year’s winners’ circle. You’ve got Andy Weir, Brandon Sanderson, David Weber, Timothy Zahn, and Kevin J. Anderson to name a few. And yes, I note with some satisfaction that I’ve won the same award as Stephen King.
That’s two years in a row of Dragon voters recognizing industry leaders who sell tons of books. Not a CHORF in sight. In contrast, take a glance at the parade of Literally Whos that is this year’s Hugo winners.
Take special note of N.K. Jemisin’s third Best Novel Hugo win in a row. Consider that the SF SJWs managed to get her nominated for a Dragon Award last year–a nomination she declined. The fact that the CHORFs couldn’t even get her on the Dragon ballot this time confirms Jemisin backed out because she knew she couldn’t win a fair and open contest. It also adds to the mountain of proof that the Hugos are rigged.
Now, over the past year folks have been sharing their fears with me that Dragon Con’s weak response to SJW demands in 2017 boded ill for the Dragon Awards’ future. Allow me to dispel those fears.
That’s Mary Robinette Kowal, the SF SJW purse puppy who ruined Brandon Sanderson’s Writing Excuses podcast, getting the vapors over a sign at Dragon Con with the word “kek” on it.
For those who’re scratching their heads, “kek” is a Korean onomatopoeia for the sound of laughter made popular in online gaming. It’s part of the op run by the merry pranksters at 4chan to make the Left reveal how hysterically humorless they are by tricking idiot journalists into reporting perfectly harmless things as white supremacist symbols.
For context, here’s another example that’s risen to prominence recently: the OK sign as secret Nazi dog whistle.
Happily the Dragon Con admins passed MRK’s shit test with flying colors by ignoring her paint chip-eating retarded scolding.
Bonus fun from the intersection of YouTube shitlordery and CHORFdom:
I wonder which stung Hugo winner MRK worse: getting dunked on by Dankula or seeing her more popular co-host win two Dragons at once when she couldn’t muster a nomination? Lucky for us, we get to enjoy both while secure in the knowledge that Dragon Con is run by Are Guys.
Heartfelt congratulations to all of this year’s Dragon recipients. Sincere thanks to everyone who nominated and voted. Give yourselves a well-deserved pat on the back for establishing and defending a healthy cultural hub.
And of course, go check out Souldancer, the first ever Dragon Award winner for Best Horror Novel.
