      yes, in-universe there are christian conservatives who regard it that way but i meant that the show itself actually views it that way, with resleeving almost invariably seen as this hideous torture than dehumanizes everyone involved

      there's one sequence that really stuck with me, with a husband and wife fighting each other to the death in an arena but the thing is, if they fight well, they don't really die, they get rewarded with even better bodies and the show just regards this as a Moral Abomination

      which is a fundamentally conservative approach -- the question of consent doesn't matter, nor autonomy, nor choice within a constrained system rather, it's just Unnatural that a husband and wife should fight like that and they're Depraved for engaging in that activity

      This is just a general thing about science fiction, including cyberpunk, that it's just as often about invoking fear and disgust at the possibility of Things Man Was Not Meant to Know as it is optimism and curiosity

      Really you could argue "cautionary tale" science fiction has always dominated the genre in one firm or another and is generally more influential than "gee whiz wouldn't it be cool" science fiction

      I feel the idea of it is also influential in itself; as in, people will happily assume anything that makes them uncomfortable is also Cautionary Tale Fiction

      Keep running into people going “Ah, obviously these characters are suffering their deserved comeuppance” and having to squint and go “…I mean they didn’t get rescued from the plot by the hand of Good and I like that in a chain of cause and effect but what.”

      People who feel comfortable with cautionary tales are disproportionately likely to be willing and happy to build plots around what they think they deserve and assume everyone else does too, therefore sufficient conflict or misfortune proves moral iniquity, I guess?

      Yeah I remember John Carpenter actually getting upset about the whole Final Girl concept and saying he never intended Halloween to be a story about teenagers being "punished for having sex"

          The original Friday the 13th was really a *parody* of that concept - there is no vengeful supernatural ghost punishing the teens for fornicating, the uptight middle aged mom is committing the killings herself - that got retroactively read as defining the genre

          sort of...though Friday the 13th is also redoing psycho; ie, it's not the son but the mother who's the killer. so kind of a different take on misogyny...

          it doesn't really work in any slasher. people get punished for everything, including having sex and not having sex.

          Right, to a large extent it's the critics who believe in the Final Girl kind of making things up and forcing the character to fit in that mold to justify her survival Which Cabin in the Woods kind of admitted in its meta way

          Standard “conservatism fights dirty” problem I guess People with a commitment to the idea of a morally prescriptive universe with a bow on it will be willing and able to believe they’re looking at it, because that’s what they think a universe means

          So “No, this is not how this story goes, there is an absence of that” doesn’t end up legible when embedded in the narrative and parses as nonsensical when said
