i’m not familiar with john scalzi, who is he?
He’s a prominent fan-fiction author (I think his fic “Old Man” is widely considered to be the best of its type) and former leader of the Puppies, a group that was a minor force in SFF fandom for a while. He was involved in various drama over the years but became famous for it recently because of the controversy over the Hugo awards, which were won by a large number of the Puppies’ picks.
