- Fantasy is number one. Steampunk, sci-fi, alternate history, and everything else that isn't boringly realistic are also fine by me.
Education, debate, learning, and discussion are NEVER bad ideas. Shame on anyone who says otherwise. Shame on you, shame on your family, shame on your cow! We would be nowhere if we decided that "oh, well, it's already been decided so no point in bringing up again". If people did that, we'd all be sitting on rocks without even fire, eating raw food, losing 1/2 of our children before puberty, and dying before sixty.
Everything in the world has been done to death- there is nothing new. This thread is not attempting to be anything new. This is just one in a long and not always proud discussion of the human condition, in vocabulary and terminology and understanding. There is nothing intentionally demeaning about this thread, and I don't actually see a black person being offended.
Concerning the idea of labeling, I invite you to this thread: https://www.iwakuroleplay.com/xfa-groups-thread/lgbttqa-terminology-educate-yourself.3743/?page=1
It's a thread by and for LBGTQ & supporters that is entirely about terminology. We don't call each other "people" because we aren't just "people". We are so much more. I'm white. I'm a writer. I'm liberal. I'm bisexual. These things make me me. Labels are to tell the world that, hey, I'm more than just anonymous Joe Schmoe #six-billion-and-something. Even within the communities of minorities, labels and vocabulary are topics of endless and dynamic discussion. There is no reason this is wrong.
If it were possible to understand people without the use of words, I'm sure we would be doing that instead. But there isn't, so I will discuss these words to death, and after death. Because the world is changing, people are changing, and I think that everyone has a right to speak, share, and understand these changes and past facts.
