I read the same Wired article, I think, and it seemed to me to be very strongly slanted against the Sad Puppies. The passages about the days when sf writers were all white men seemed not merely to be a coded way of saying "Here is the view of a bunch of racists and sexists" but to be a heavy-handed way of doing so, to the point where it didn't even occur to me that anyone could read it differently; there was a feeling of "nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more" about it. So it's informative for me to see you reading it exactly the opposite way.
