Let the SJW head explosions commence.

By the way. I get to vote in this thing, and I voted for people whose books are in my library, or whose works I have read and liked, or whom I have at least heard of. Meaning mostly the Sad Puppies Slate, presently being burnt in effigy all over the Interwebz.

Way to go Sad Puppies for living rent free in exploding SJW heads all over the globe. May the explodiness warm you hearts as it does mine.
