      So we're going to look over the fact that he referred to his "Afropunk sci-fi" genre as a legitimate argument for why @Swordsfall1 would have faulty logic? Because... That's just a bad look dude. Go to your wardrobe and try another one. #emperorhasnoclothes

      34/ For example, Steve Barnes is an African American SF author , but he doesn't put himself in an "Afro SF" ghetto where he's measured by lower standards; he writes mainstream SF and hangs with Niven, Pournelle, and other studs.

      Literally calling a genre of "bigotry of low expectations" is completely missing the point of why @Swordsfall1 even had to make his game. Blacks have leaned on fiction to see ourselves succeed in a post-colonial world. Can you be quiet and let us have this in peace? https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1167445642832162816 …

      So we can't just have a fictional setting we like to ourselves, merely for the "sin" of "bad science" in a fictional setting that may or may not be intended for you as part of the audience.

      but you keep missing the point that HE is the one who was upset at OTHER PEOPLE'S sf. I don't go around critiquing fantasy bc "lol, dragons aren't realistic". But HE WAS DOING THAT. And I was correcting him. You've got the entire narrative backwards.

          Turning 'questioning constant leaned-on trends in the genre' into 'I feel attacked/I'm a noble defender of the genre' is some tippy-top-tier fragility.
