https://www.publicbooks.org/asimovs-empire-asimovs-wall/ posted:

Asimov groped or engaged in other forms of unwanted touching with countless women, often at conventions, but also privately and in the workplace. Within the science fiction community, this is common knowledge, and whenever I bring it up in a room of older fans, the response is usually a series of nods. The number of such incidents is unknown, but it can be plausibly estimated in the hundreds, and thus may match or exceed the long list of books that Asimov wrote.

Apparently [Asimov] would grope women at sci-fi conventions.

saw this quote from alfred bester's obituary, kinda funny:

In an obituary for Alfred Bester published in the 1987 SFWA's Nebula Awards volume, and later in an anthology of Alfred Bester's short works, Redemolished, Asimov wrote:

In any case, he [Alfred Bester] always gave me the biggest hello it was possible to hand out. I use the term figuratively, because what he gave me more than once (lots more than once, especially if he saw me before I saw him) was more than a verbal greeting. He enclosed me in a bear hug and kissed me on the cheek. And, occasionally, if I had my back to him, he did not hesitate to goose me.

This discomfited me in two ways. First, it was a direct physical discomfiture. I am not used to being immobilized by a hug and then kissed, and I am certainly not used to being goosed.

A more indirect discomfiture and a much worse one was my realization that just as I approached Alfie very warily when I saw him before he saw me, it might be possible that young women approached me just as warily, for I will not deny to you that I have long acted on the supposition that hugging, kissing, and goosing was a male prerogative, provided young women (not aging males) were the target. You have no idea how it spoiled things to me when I couldn't manage to forget that the young women might be edging away.

I wonder if Alfie did it on purpose in order to widen my understanding of human nature and to reform me. No, I don't think so. It was just his natural ebullience.

I've never heard of Ray Bradbury doing anything personally but he was a big defender of Bob Packwood and acted mystified as to why anyone would think sexual harassment or groping was a big deal.

Sorry, but he probably was. Here's a rundown on the 1998 article in which he supposedly admitted to it:

No matter what you believe, I don't believe in you.

heinlein had his issues but wanting to be a hot young woman and/or gently caress his mom is barely even notable compared to everyone else's apparently near-constant groping/sexual assault.

le guin is probably the least hosed up of that era, although who knows maybe we'll find out she's like sia or some poo poo. death of the author, none of it matters anyway.
