I had to choose between understanding this as a serious point, and it simply being in theme with your cross-subforum track record.
Then I had to take into account your User Title.

You being incredibly cranky won out.


Your need to constantly bring up censorship seems to preclude it being "just an example", and your disconnected leap from SF to censorship implies you have a bee up your bonnet about the issue.

And no, I am not in the least curious. Some people are stupid and don't like SFF. Their loss.
I don't suspect them of nefarious plots to rid the world of it, so if they want to posture about celebrating its hopeful demise, kol hakavod.
Fair is fair, because they probably think I am stupid too.


Also, I will happily plan a party when the genres I dismiss as stupid and silly die (probbly never ) -- so it certainly isn't a moral sticking point with me.
