Gallo are not those of Tor as an organization and are not my own views. Let me reiterate: the views expressed by Ms. Gallo, have been reminded that they are required to clarify when they are speaking for Tor and when they are speaking for themselves. I apologize to anyone hurt by my comments.ĭoherty’s message clarifies that “some of the authors on the Sad Puppy slate have been published by Tor and Tor.com,” and concludes: I realize I painted too broad a brush and hurt some individuals, some of whom are published by Tor Books and some of whom are Hugo Award winners. This is my personal page I do not speak on behalf of Tor Books or Tor.com.

A noisy few but they’ve been able to gather some Gamergate folks around them and elect a slate of bad-to-reprehensible works on this year’s Hugo ballot. They are unrepentantly racist, sexist and homophobic. There are two extreme right-wing to neo-nazi groups, called the Sad Puppies and the Rabid Puppies respectively, that are calling for the end of social justice in science fiction and fantasy. Gallo’s post addressed the Sick/Rabid Puppies (two online groups whose slate overran this year’s Hugo Awards and whose varying levels of bigotry and misogyny we’ve covered in the past), stating: She did not make it clear that her comments were hers alone.”
Gallo is identified on her page as working for Tor. In a piece posted yesterday on Tor entitled “ A Message from Tom Doherty to Our Readers and Authors,” publisher Tom Doherty addressed comments made on the personal Facebook page of Tor Books’ creative director Irene Gallo, noting that “Ms. Isn’t it ironic how quickly free-speech-obsessed Internet jerks forget their censorship concerns when it’s an influential woman (particularly one with “SJW values”) that’s being silenced?
