(This post may be NSFW.) OK. You remember the Sad Puppies/Rabid Puppies plans for the Hugo Awards? They are trying to do similar things this year. They are also trying to nominate works which are only tangentially related to SF, such as "Chuck Tingle"'s story, "Space Raptor Butt Invasion." When Tingle heard the news, he immediately did a new work..."Slammed in the Butt by my Hugo Award Nomination." Tingle further went on to mock Vox Day, and stated that, should he get the award, Zoe Quinn will accept it on his behalf. boingboing.net/2016/05/06/weird-porn-author-who-was-drag.htmlI'm certain they did not expect it.

I really don't get this but I am aware that Day got nominated for awards there despite well, let's face it, some very objectionable views.

After looking him up, I can confirm he's the worst think to come out of my state. We bottled up what few bad things we had and pooped them all out as Vox Day (and a minor poop as Mystery Science Theater 3000)

We bottled up what few bad things we had and pooped them all out as Vox Day (and a minor poop as Mystery Science Theater 3000) I see and don't blame you given what he thinks of some subjects, like apparently marital rape doesn't exist and immigration by Mexicans (in general) is comparable to the invasion of the USSR by the Nazis (and I honestly think the latter is less idiotic but still); I am also aware he is also talented but still s##tty views are s##tty views (no argument here).
That and I'm aware he was also involved in the Rapid Puppies thing last year which didn't work out well possibly due to him being well s##tty.

Isn't his Rabid Puppies cause all about getting people recognized for their talent regardless of their political views? I'm very confused, unless you're referring to his anti-SJW views of which I really can't blame him for but hard to agree with him; talk about poisoning the well.

To protest alleged bias in favor for women, non-whites, and lefties they nominate works of people who are none of those things. Thus their nominations are nominated because of their views/identity, not despite of them. Besides the random stuff just because they're trolls. Vox Day's ballot stuffers wouldn't have rallied behind him if it wasn't for his views.
