For the record, I am not eligible to vote for the Hugo's nor have I had anything to do with Sad Puppies other than reading Brad Torgensen's post and the list of books.

Whilst there are plainly racists and misogynists who participated in this Sad Puppy list I very much doubt that all of them fall into one or both of those categories. I do not know what percentage are racists or misogynists, nor indeed do I know what ultimate influence they had on the final list.
