- slothtrop 3y ago2015 was almost a decade ago, and the word "feminism" doesn't even appear in those articles. Seems the salience was more about race/diversity.
- gred 3y agoI think that's the context, though. Going back as far as a decade ago, the Hugo Awards were leaning "inclusive". There were some reactionary campaigns. Regardless, the trend has continued. Not everybody is happy about it, and not everybody sees a Hugo Award as a reliable indicator of quality these days.
