Well I suppose it’s a matter of perspective.

Yes, I get the point.

Yes, like I said, fetishwear. Nonfunctional costumery

But you don’t need spaceships and aliens to do that. It’s just fetishwear at that point.
In real scifi it isn’t fetishwear. It actually serves a purpose.

I like scifi. I like to explore the strange and push past the walls of reality. I like dangerous visions. Big ideas.
But interpersonal drama, identity-stroking and, yes, politics. It’s just weak and boring. It’s small. Damn small.
Do you see the difference?
Unfortunately the majority of people prefer the small stuff so that’s who they write for.
Scifi will always be a niche culture.
This popular stuff is not scifi. It’s the old dumb crap dressed up in spaceships and aliens.
Sometimes startrek goes big. Sometimes it doesn’t.

They gave me free prime. I was a god for 30 days. But ya.
- Comment on Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit 2 days ago:
Because you already have an account set up with amazon.
Because you’ve used amazon before and feel comfortable with them.

Maybe all digital content just shouldn’t be trusted. It’s like some kind of demon-realm or something. Navigable by the wise but for common fools like you and I, perilous. Full of illusion.

Beauty rules.
- Comment on Anon is going to get a call from HR 3 days ago:
Is it better (according to the present popular opinion) to use a derogatory term (goy) or to use what the term means (a dirty non-jew)?

The hivemind overruling the director is pretty dystopian.

I disapprove of this “Encore Cut”.
- Comment on An independent voter explains why they chose a moronic, oligarcho-fascist demagogue over Joe Biden (c. November 2020) [Day 58] 3 days ago:
Trump is a giant lizard. Biden is the face of the hive.
How do you want to die, eaten or brainsucked?

Lots of stuff should be tagged but isn’t.
Bad faith arguments. Rhetoric. Information gotten from dubious sources. Metaphors that might be taken literally… Lots of stuff.
Yes, tags would be a great addition to common language. I’d put them right up there with emojis
