Patrick Binder @bevoluntaryistReplying to @MorlockPit is literally about wizards. it is set in space. it is not "science" just because its in space. kyber crystals are literally magic crystal. it is not science or trying to be reasonable, it is magic. It is a Fantasy set in Space. Real SciFi tries to explain their stupid ideas.4 replies 0 retweets 27 likesShow this thread -

4/ If you want hard science fiction, you know where to find it (and what to call it). You can rage rage rage that the entire world is using the wrong phrase...but I'm a descriptivist about language. "science fiction" means what people mean when they say "science fiction".

5/ the label "science fiction" is more about aesthetics than anything else to answer your question, we'd have to ask 100 readers and see what they say definition by enumeration sucks, but sometimes it's all we've got https://twitter.com/NoLongerBennett/status/1488653743105134596 …

7/ labels should be tools to understanding, IMO "science fiction" means one thing to the broad public, but autists can quibble about the boundaries rather than debate if something is or isn't SF, I'd say "it's SF" and then dig down into subgenres >>>https://twitter.com/Based_Jedi/status/1488656695287066627 …

8/ "my novel is level 7 SF on the
@KarlKGallagher hardness scale with One Big Thing, generally off in the direction of a Niven and Pournelle procedural in style but with the political stance of mid career Heinlein, and dragging in side topics like 1/16th of a Stephenson"2 replies 0 retweets 20 likesShow this thread

9/ 100% agreed ...and "marketing" doesn't just mean "sleazy advertising copy" ; it means communicating information to let people buy a product that will make them happy.https://twitter.com/KarlKGallagher/status/1488658322945462280 …
