For trad publishers - and I say this as someone who works for one - pretty much the only one who has stood firm against the tide has been Baen Books... and my god have the wokies repeatedly try to make them pay for that.
Good on you for supporting the Dragon Awards!
By win I mean that, had the Puppies won outright and the wokies lost, would this cancer have spread to every other branch of pop culture? Would Tor and Orbit and thier ilk kept thier heads down or remained mostly sane?
And yeah, guys like Larry Corriea and Jim Butcher weathered the backlash fine... lot of midlisters like Brad Torgersen didn't. To say nothing of all the newbie spec fiction authors being kept from success because they're too white/male/straight for the gatekeepers.
Ten years ago, I my bosses never would have openly told me to reject an author because he was a white guy, or sent promising authors packing because they didn't want to make every other character gay.
I dunno if the Battle for the Hugos sped up a wokie takeover, or just made the leftie loons drop the mask, but I've watched the transformation first hand...
I wonder a lot if it might have been prevented ir mitigated. I wonder a lot more if it can be fixed at this point.
Indeed, the Rabid Puppies were tools.
That and the Sad Puppies were totally unprepared for SFWA dropping that media blitz smearjob they did. I think the level of personal attacks and venom shocked a lot of people.
