I won ' t be able to make it because I ' m out of town with the inlaws but I wanted to just say . Thank you so much for doing this and you guys sound like so much fun I would have loved to meet you guys . Great to see so much trust in this community to invite strangers into your home . Beautiful thing . <| sep |> White people smh <| sep |> Sliced Cheese , y ' unnerstan ? SLICED . CHEESE . Do it . Do it NOW . <| sep |> Yeah . If you word it that way a human audience wants to see humans win the tropes might not even be mutually exclusive . In Star Wars , Star Trek , and Mass Effect , humans get nebulous things like ' honour ', ' courage ', or ' drive ' to distinguish themselves from other species , while those other species have , Oh , I lay eggs in clutches of 250 and I grow massive spines on my back and breathe exotic gases . All three universes also have this human ' averageness ' where almost all planets have atmospheres and surface gravity suitable for humans , too , though this goes for most aliens except some who have that as their distinguishing feature . So while humans are biologically average , they are still ' special ' in how they act and succeed in times of hardship , because hey , they ' re the Good Guys . I could even see both of these tropes in Doctor Who and Lord of the Rings .
