shadowmaster13 's review for:
The Geek Feminist Revolution
by Kameron Hurley
hopeful
informative
medium-paced
It's quite good although unfortunately some of the essays should have been left on the blog and even one written for the book suffers from not just being written in an era but in a specific moment.
Gamergate and the Sad Puppies saga were big moments but 2015 was too soon to write about them in a past tense. The worst was yet to come with Sad Puppies as well as the voting changes to reduce the impact of bloc voting. Which even had it been written in 2018 might have aged poorly now with the organisation behaving badly recently.I'm referring to the controversy around the 2023 Hugo censorship which also included removing votes in an unsanctioned way due to concerns about slating by Chinese fans so maybe I'll also seem dated soon.
