GodDAMN. This here's some real, according-to-Hoyle MORONIC CRAP.
The War on Science Fiction and Marvin Minsky
The blogger (I'm not going to dignify him with the term "author") of the above post, who very bravely blogs under the name "Pro-Male/Anti-Feminst Tech", spews out a screed that can basically be boiled down to this:
DEM NASSSSTY GURLZ BE MESSIN UP SCIFI OH NOEZ OMGWTFBBQ!!!11!!!
Here's a taste of his "wisdom":
With women killing science fiction on television, the current generation of boys won’t have this opportunity to be inspired to work in these fields. There is still a great deal of written science fiction that is real science fiction so all is not lost. However, many boys who would have gone on to make scientific discoveries and invent new technologies will not do so since they will never be inspired by science fiction as boys.
There's more. Oh much more. It seems that the entire genre of science fiction has been permanently run down, ruined, had all its inspiration sucked away (nudge-nudge) by TEH EBUL WIMMINS & GHEYS!!! No intelligent person can possibly get any enjoyment out of it anymore because we've gotten out ICKY GURL COOTIES all over it. There will never be any more men in science and engineering because...well, I'm not sure. Apparently he thinks that science fiction is, what? The only way that anyone would ever think of becoming a scientist?
This is so ridiculous. And the funniest thing about it, to my mind, is that he seems to think it's original. That nobody has ever said any of this before. Dude, this shit has been whined and puled and ranted for DECADES. Every time there's a new inclusive slant to SF, the whiny fanboys start going on about how it's the end of the genre, and nobody will ever want to be scientists again, and the world will end as we know it. It's funny, but it's also pathetic and sad. Funny, too. And misogynistic and homophobic and ugly. Did I mention it's also funny as hell? Because it is.
So, let's all get together for yet another chorus, shall we? Maestro Denis, care to lead the choir?
Asshole - Denis Leary
No, whatever your real name is, you're not a trail-blazing critic bemoaning the loss of a precious intellectual art form. You're just AN ASSHOLE.
P.S. You can let go of your dick now, Sparky.
