I hate drama. I really, really do. Its toxic to me. I dont like confrontation. But there are times when you have to take a stand. Every now and then in the speculative fiction world, some person will write an article about how Diversity/Political Correctness etc. is horrible. They think theyre taking a stand against didactic Aesop-style fiction. What they are really doing is dog-whistling, save that the dog-whistle is as loud as a klaxon. What I, and other minorities hear is: You dont write good fiction, or Why are black/gay/feminist/trans people harshing my squee? Is it any wonder that POC dont go to cons? Ive pretty much stopped going to cons BECAUSE of the lack of diversity. And I dont think Im the only one who feels that way. THAT is the effect of these jeremiads.
