The Hugo’s have been a mess for over a decade now; seems like they’re happy to piss away what little credibility they had left.

This whole saga has been... what a mess. Sucks for those impacted. There's no real way to make it up to them, which adds to the harm.

Something both gross and beautiful about the sci-fi awards falling victim to dystopian dictatorship.
