Women who were interested in male dominated hobbies enjoyed said hobbies for years. Somehow that wasn’t good enough. I’m trying to remember which infestation came first comic books or sci-fi books. I think the sad puppies stuff may have come first to fight sci-fi/fantasy going crazy.
The World Fantasy Award became irrelevant in 2015 when they distanced themselves from H.P. Lovecraft. The Hugo award was was a slower process from the late 90s, but was ruined by 2013 when the Sad Puppies campaign started.
