So if I invest the same amount of time I spent in TF 2 into Star Citizen I could buy roughly 84 connies . I am ok with this . <| sep |> Ah , sorry then devils advocate got away from me then as let ' s face it , selfish is the go to word for us to our abusers . But no , upon further information , tis not the case . <| sep |> Your holding it wrong Steve Jobs <| sep |> Coming from a user that is not required to use this site . <| sep |> I sold Buffon for him , he has been a god , also insane on penalties <| sep |> What I ' m really getting at is that a lot of stories on here seem to be dog whistles that sanitize and justify Western Imperialism , racism , and genocide . This might not even be intentional , the history of science fiction , especially most of early scifi , is wrought with the aforementioned aspects . Literature is just motifs of human experience , no matter what lens is used . As I read through the rest of this , I found myself thinking through prior discussions of this issue . Literature is at its core an expression of conceptions of causes and effects on individuals and structures , physical , social or psychological . One does not get good material out of constraining those conceptions , not even the gems of good concepts . I think you should realize that encouraging dissidence and dissonance is the primary driver of great material , not constrained writing though the latter does have its uses in certain contexts not applicable here .
