the THING IS: classic scifi (star trek, doctor who) is about love and kindness and acceptance and exploration, and when it’s not entirely about that, it’s about overcoming evil institutions (b5, star wars). so like. why do bigoted, hateful, disgusting people always state that they’re a scifi fan, when all of the media they consume goes strictly against their toxic beliefs? seriously, why

because they think THEY’RE the underdog heroes fighting against the unfair institutions of Social Justice and Forced Progressivism.

It’s some grade-A bullshit cognitive dissonance, but boy are they good at it.
