Data tells a story.
The Hugo 2023 nomination data came out on Friday and now, there's a controversy.
Certain books were disqualified without any justification.
Some of these certain books are popular, they are critically acclaimed, and they won other awards.
All of these disqualified book have one thing in common - they don't meet Chinese censorship demands.
Local politics never* influenced the nominations.
For a democratic award like the Hugo, this is new territory because something like this has never happened before.
*I suppose this is why they say never say never. T_T
