I am guessing you'll wait a long time for that list.

Agreed, I don't believe any of these naysayers follow Nick. Now if he takes the challenge to their doorstep, then shares the results here, it'll be interesting.

I suspect that for some puppies, the intrusion of "politics," i.e. any political view that they don't already share, makes a work less readable. Just as "literary" means any prose they actually notice as they read.

Ancillary Justice , which, if you replaced all the female pronouns with male ones, would be a classic pew-pew-pew story



, which, if you replaced all the female pronouns with male ones, would be a classic pew-pew-pew story “The Water That Falls on You from Nowhere”, from the same year



“If You Were a Dinosaur, My Love”, which is from the same year, and didn’t win



Redshirts, which must be covered in SJW-cooties from its author, because I sure as hell didn’t notice any left-wing message in the story itself



I have no trouble finding “evidence” that anthropogenic global warming is a myth, or that Obama is wrecking the economy, or that Darwin was full of it. But for this particular conservative hobby-horse, the partisans really are not bringing their A game. Son, I am disappoint. When I see specific titles mentioned, the same four keep coming up:I have no trouble finding “evidence” that anthropogenic global warming is a myth, or that Obama is wrecking the economy, or that Darwin was full of it.

China Miéville's name also comes up a lot, though, honestly, I see a lot of anti-establishment messaging that should appeal to the puppies in his work, and suspect the backlash against him has to do with the fact that his real-world politics are well known.

The only one that I would count is probably "Water"; now all they need is nineteen more.

The flashback parts of Ancillary Justice tell the history of Breq as part of an occupation army on a planet where sectarian tension exists between local factions. I'm sure you can see how this applies to recent history. Sadly this aspect seems to have been overlooked by many readers because OH MY GOD GENDER STUFF!!! but it's there all the same.

Brad Torgerson explicitly points out Ancillary Justice.

If You Were A Dinosaur wasn't particularly good. SJW, or not.

I am beginning to suspect that some of their "capitalism is bad/capitalists are bad and wrong" whining comes from the fact that Avatar won everything winnable despite having icky environmentalist cooties all over it.
