Puppy contingent

Do you think its possible there is less Puppy influence this year because their ilk are pretty much running the country now and don't care about sweating the small stuff anymore?

You'd have to ask a puppy.

Disillusionment may also be a culprit. The God-Emperor Trump has proven underwhelming so far, to say the least. I wouldn't be surprised if some have simply lost enthusiasm for the culture war against the SJWs and the snowflakes now that their hero's administration is proving as corrupt and incompetent as all signs should have told them it would be.

We should be very careful about creating black v. white, good v. evil categories. With the way some of the snowflakes have behaved at places like Berkeley, Middlebury, and Yale, it is really hard to tell which is which. Some of us are even tempted to argue the snowflakes/SJWs are the orcs! ;)

Everybody: stop with the "snowflake" crap, or you'll be deleted and banned.

The Puppies call themselves the Puppies. No one calls themselves the Snowflakes.

The Rabid Puppies, who march in lockstep with VD, basically decided to get behind one (sometimes two) nominations per category to minimize the effect of EPH... which neatly served to prove EPH was indeed the right way to go. File 770 had a run down of what they slated and what made the ballot.
