La 74th edition of the Hugo Award they were announced at the World Science Fiction convention in Kansas City. The great distinction of the Hugos is that, unlike the Nebula awards, the votes are cast by those present at the convention.
Last year, the Hugo Awards had a great controversy For a reason that I will go on to mention below, but let's say that several voting groups have gained interest in offering support in the votes to their favorites at the top of the lists, which has meant that they do not even hide their predilections on their main candidates .
A small group of people under the name "Sad Puppies" and a rival group, "Ravid Puppies", who do not agree with the loss of a special touch of the science fiction genre that homosexual couples allow and to women who do not have a large chest exist. This made the Hugo awards in a bad joke and a kind of confrontation between different groups that take away their charm from these awards.
