I'm just reading the comments on file770.com re strange statistics at the Chengdu #HugoAwards (last boost) and getting more and more angry. Outright disqualification of multiple eligible nominees, and the data look like manipulation of votes and stats, as well. It's horrible for both the wronged people and the winners, and it's just so blatant and "what are you going to do about it, huh?" arrogant. Incredible.
Here are some detailed posts about the irregularities in the #HugoAwards nomination and voting stats. The verdict is very damning for the 2023 Chengdu #Worldcon.
Very clear data pattern analysis, these results are much more unnatural than the sad puppy influenced ones:
