I Stand By Irene Gallo - #terribleminds- Chuck Wendig June 9, 2015
Standing with this morning, as the Puppies find yet another way to degrade our genre.- Paul_Cornell June 9, 2015 If Gallo’s post was deemed objectionable enough to warrant a public disavowal, what about the controversial opinions published by other Tor authors and employees? The Sad Puppies are often compared to Gamergate, though they are not affiliated. In her post, Gallo described the group as “right-wing to neo-nazi” and “unrepentantly racist, misogynist, and homophobic.” Doherty’s post distances Tor from that viewpoint, adding that the Sad Puppies supports a diverse range of authors-including several published by Tor Books.Īfter Doherty denounced Gallo’s comment, many sci-fi fans and authors began accusing him of hypocrisy. Written on May 11, Gallo’s comment briefly outlined her opinion of the “Sad/Rabid Puppies” campaign that derailed this year’s Hugo Awards by bloc-voting for a slate of anti-progressive authors. The post publicly distances Tor from a Facebook comment made by Irene Gallo, the publisher’s creative director. In the world of sci-fi/fantasy publishing, all anyone can talk about today is this Tor.com blog post from Tor Books founder Tom Doherty.
