30/ Oh, I didn't realize that Star Wars and Star Trek were POPULAR. Gosh, I never would have had the temerity to dislike them if I knew that LOTS OF RANDOS liked them ; great argument. https://twitter.com/BurningBunring/status/1167437865929691137 …

d20Sapphire is attempting to write again @d20sapphireReplying to @ctdonath @MisterFawx @MorlockPSo 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.#emperorhasnoclothes2 replies 0 retweets 3 likesShow this thread -
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.

@Swordsfall1 was attacking other authors for doing science wrong. No, I will NOT be quiet and let him attack others for doing bad science when he is the one who is wrong.https://twitter.com/d20sapphire/status/1167448256290447360 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,
d20Sapphire is attempting to write again @d20sapphireLiterally 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 …2 replies 1 retweet 4 likesShow this thread -

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.

Replying to @MorlockP @d20sapphire and
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.
