It seems like all of the work people have been doing the last few years to make wiscon more inclusive may be about to be undone because of a few people on the concomm. That's not ok. I don't know any details, only that there is still unrest and people who do not want to take sf3's suggestion for some goddamn reason, and that that is bullshit. I think of wiscon as an exception within feminism, a feminism that actually gives a fuck about about intersectionality and real progressiveness. Please don't take that from me. I need that.

yeah, that's unacceptable fuckery right there. They made Nora feel unwelcome. fuck.

Yeah, I am seriously fucking pissed.

Likewise.

In my documentary footage, a lot of people say stuff about how there's an old guard in mainstream SF that needs to be kicked out of their ca. 1970 thinking before the genre will permanently change.

Well, it goes for more than just the mainstream.

I think that the quote about SF3's resolution was just clarifying that the resolution is not "binding" for the WisCon ConCom. That doesn't mean that whomever Nora talked to necessarily disagreed with it, just that SF3 can't make WisCon do anything.

I will point out that almost everyone on SF3 is also on the ConCom.
