This gets at the heart of the real problem. Noah had talked about how using fantastic stand-ins for real problems is an issue I don't agree, but the issue is that we're using a fantastic problem that makes no sense to stand for real problems to which it is on no way analogous..

Yeah again, F&TWS wants to try to insist that Real World Issues are more significant in a world where they are thoroughly obsolete.

While disguising one as the other with a kind of shrug. I think they're going for making fantasy issues FEEL like real issues, in terms of tone and process, but without actually doing anything.

Like, whatever realistic-scale issues are being pushed by Karli, there's the really strange aspect that nobody seems to care except her group; everyone else is sort of perplexed by their very existence.

In order to be truly sympathetic to Karl's position you have to be someone whose life was already pretty fucking bad before the Snap - someone so marginalized and isolated you didn't personally lose anyone whose return could possibly make the Unsnap worth it to you

Honestly? A friend of mine says they're basically a lefty QAnon and that's basically accurate. And her whole Eulogy to Mamma Donya doesn't say "sympathetic loss," it says "Second-generation radicalized cultist." Seriously: fuck Karli.

Like she says it herself: she believes nobody else will stick up for her group (because she and her friends are thoroughly radicalized and cut off from normal society in that creepy cultist subculture-y way), so she doesn't value anyone outside it.

Yeah, but also it's a group with millions and millions of members across the world, including like, half the people in central park, none of whom seem to be in particularly rough shape.

Like I said, shades of QAnon. Also let's be real here: Karli's group offers a bunch of people a gamified way to smash some shit and feel good, and we all know plenty of people for whom that's a big draw. It's like the dark side of Activist Twitter turned murderous.

I'm reminded of my character from City of Heroes. A huge, greyish-yellow tank character with a backstory of being irradiated whilst eating an egg sandwich. The Incredible Yolk.
