you literally cannot warn people not to do something by depicting it. it doesn't work. you have to depict what you wish they were doing instead

“focus your energy on what you want to see more of” has some distressing implications for the whole genre of dystopian fiction. it suggests that dystopian fiction doesn’t successfully act as a warning, and if anything makes dystopias look cooler, more familiar, more thinkable

Is there danger to a lack of depiction in some areas? It seems all cultures depict some behaviors they don't want to be imitated
