Everything is saying something, no matter how trivial. Because statements, fictional or not, have logical and ideological consequences. Pretending that isn’t true is itself an ideological and political statement. If you keep backing out of the fight you’re surrendering the field to those who don’t back out and that’s why things are as they are. You’re burying your head in the sand of fandom. Some of us like to be entertained, and lord knows I understand escapism and filter bubbles, but I also realize what’s at stake. It is coming to a head but it’s MUCH larger than comic movie fandom. Society is about to convulse because technology and demographics are changing the very nature of what it means to be a human citizen.
Transhumanism, automation, climate change. Get ready.
