Join the Evil Legion of Evil


For $40, you can still sign up for a supporting membership to Sasquan. You'll receive a nominating packet filled with many of this year's Hugo Award nominated works (likely worth much more than $40), be able to vote for what you believe is the best work in each category and be able to nominate for the 2016 Hugo Awards.

And you can count yourself as a faceless minion in the Evil Legion of Evil, all while triggering SJWs. That is a $40 well spent.

In other cases, it's much harder for the public to become involved. Case in point with these SJW antics: BREITBART EDITOR BLACKLISTED FROM SHORTY AWARDS AFTER CLANDESTINE FEMINIST WHISPERING CAMPAIGN
Breitbart associate editor Milo Yiannopoulos, who was nominated by public vote as the leading candidate in the “journalist” category of the Shorty Awards this year, was scrubbed from the nominations roster after a whispering campaign by feminist agitators, say sources close to the Awards.

The Shorty Awards, which held their 2015 ceremony in New York City this week, say their aim is to honour the “best of social media.” Using a combination of popular and judge-led nominations, the Shortys are aiming to establish themselves as the “Oscars of the internet.” But the Awards have been dogged by accusations that they arbitrarily remove popular nominees because they are too politically controversial.

There were a number of other unexplained removals after the close of nominations. African-American game developer Jason Miller, who was fired from his job after introducing the #NotYourShield hashtag to Twitter in October, was also removed. Despite being a single individual, Miller had outstripped Gawker’s video games blog, Kotaku, in popular nominations. Thanking his supporters on his blog, Miller accused the Shorty Awards of failing to represent the people’s choice.

Blogger and web entrepreneur Mike Cernovich, who gained enough popular votes to enter the “healthy living” finalists also had his awards profile removed. According to Cernovich, the Shorty Awards did not provide him with any reason for their actions. Writing on his blog, Cernovich accused the Shorty Awards of using him and his followers to promote their awards via public nominations, before denying them their final choice after nominations closed. “The Shorty Awards are a fraud and a scam,” he says.
