As you know Bob, &#8220;Chuck Tingle&#8221; is a cult writer of increasingly bizarre gay porn, usually about being pounded in the butt by metaphysical concepts. The pups thought it would be hi-larious to nominate his story &#8220;Space Raptor Butt Invasion&#8221; for Best Short Story, just because it sounded similar to Rachel Swirsky&#8217;s &#8220;If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love&#8221; which they still have an incredible hate-on for. And of course also because these are the kind of people who think calling somebody gay is both funny and an insult.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nOf course the only real reason it&#8217;d bother anybody is because it means some more worthy story lost out because of this stupid stunt, not so much that a bit of gay porn with a sci-fi flavour got nominated in the first place. Tingle nominating Zoe Quinn to receive his award is a great piece of counter trolling. Zoe Quinn was Victim Zero of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gamergate_controversy\">Gamergate<\/a>, as her ex-boyfriend Eron Gjoni involved the shadier parts of the socalled gaming community to harass her. Puppies being who they are they&#8217;re of course on the harassing side, so having Quinn accoet is a giant fuck you in their direction by Tingle.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIt helps soften the annoyance and pain of having to deal with their shit for another year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IMPORTANT: cant go to hugos award so to thwart devil plans, true buckaroo ZOE QUINN (name of @unburtwitch) has agreed to accept award for me &mdash; Chuck Tingle (@ChuckTingle) May 5, 2016 Well, that made me laugh in the midst of yet another puppy temper tantrum\/Vox Day publicity stunt thrown at the expense of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1818,22],"tags":[2389,824,2229],"class_list":["post-7121","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fandom-2","category-science-fiction","tag-chuck-tingle","tag-hugo-awards","tag-sad-puppies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7121","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7121"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7121\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7122,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7121\/revisions\/7122"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7121"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7121"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cloggie.org\/wissewords2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7121"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
