I’m curious; did you choose that analogy on purpose?
Not in that regard, no. I’m actually vaguely in favor of the Sad Puppies, as I think that Larry Correia has some significant points, although I think, as with Correia, that the point was already made, and at this point I regard it as largely a political exercise.
Which is to say, I agree with the original purpose of demonstrating that there is a bias at play (given the staunch denials that such a bias existed), but have little interest in their efforts at fighting the bias. I don’t care about the award, I don’t care who it goes to; it was never a selling point to me, and never will be.
The Rabid Puppies… I find boring and childish. They hopped on the bandwagon entirely to piss off people they enjoy pissing off.
