So if it ever was about quality, it certainly doesn't seem to be any more. People seem to vote more for political reasons, or to advance social causes, and I've found that, particularly for the last 10ish years, the nominees rarely reflect my personal tastes, much less the winners. So it may not be that you don't like science fiction or fantasy, you may just not like sci-fi and fantasy as it's presented by the Hugo's.

Yea, I read ?/ can't even remember the title/ that had won the Hugo. Turned out to be a pretty crappy read. I was thinking WTF? Your post is a pretty good explanation why.
