How can a guy try to go to a sub like that and expect to change things ? I ' m very big into the whole military scifi theme myself as it ' s my absolute favorite genre . People are free to write however they want . Some of the most enjoyable series are the ones that really do follow the HFY theme . Lost fleet , The Aldenta series , Old Man ' s war Even if the author is a raging SJW . However there is plenty of other fantastic stuff out there that doesn ' t follow that model like the Engines of God series . The scifi world needs more people not giving a shit and just writing what they want to not less . It ' s up to the author to decide what they want to write . You can ' t just drop SJW stuff into that kind of scifi because we just won ' t plain read it .
