We need to take action to protect our children from this normalized group of sickos. More people need to ask why these science fiction, fantasy, and comics publishers keep hiring people like this to produce their work. SFWA actually cited in their reason for banning me for their club, despite my qualifying, that it was because I make articles speaking out against pedophilia. It’s systemic throughout the fiction, and it needs to stop.

Too many of the top publishing organizations have harbored and possibly still are harboring known pedophiles within their ranks. There are so many examples it’s nauseating.Ī new one came out today, with Gerrad Jones, a former writer for Marvel and DC Comics admitting guilt to child pornography.

We know full well about SFWA Grandmaster Samuel Delaney’s very vocal thoughts on the subject matter (SFWA has still not disavowed him). There’s a lot of books with young children in it with gratuitous nudity scenes in the “classics” and beyond. Ever since Moira Greyland released the book detailing just how her mother, Science Fiction legend and feminist icon Marion Zimmer Bradley sexually abused her - and used the convention circuit to allow her friends to do the same, I’ve posted warning about the pedophilia that’s been normalized within the mainstream science fiction community.
