    How dare sci-fi explore political issues, like the tendency of humanity to resort to othering people that make them uncomfortable.

      I’m fine with it, it’s just that the sci-fi is a thin veneer for the political message.

          Good God there are so many assumptions about my character based on this post. Thought I was escaping the Reddit hive mind mentality coming here, but seems like it’s the same shit in another place.

          The message is fine. A refugee story. The plight of the impoverished. Fine. It might have landed better for me if there were more sci-fi aspects involved.
