Solumbran,

It’s the one with a dev that thinks that replacing “he” by “they” is political propaganda?

Yeah, no thanks.

Solumbran,

Refusing the change is pushing a political agenda too. But I guess it helps seeing which agenda you prefer ;)

Solumbran,

Cancel culture, this far-right myth that fascists love so much. You forgot to continue and talk about freedom of speech and how you are a centrist.

Solumbran,

Well on the contrary you should understand it more. A gendered pronoun carries an idea of gender, and having a genderless pronoun frees the sentence of this gender assumption. Nothing very hard to understand.

Solumbran,

And where then? It is about changing a part of the software, that fits quite clearly an issue/pull request

The horrible morals of a show supposed to teach them

I’ve been watching the various Star Trek shows for a while now, and while not finished I saw most of them, I believe. And I cannot shake off the feeling that the messages given by these shows, especially (and almost exclusively) recent ones are pushing horrible morals that most people seem to not care about....

Solumbran,

The main interest of science fiction is to explore the moral and social effects of current, past or hypothetical events and technological discoveries. It could be basically called “philosophy through futurology”, and sci-fi without morals is just that, futurology.

Star Trek from the very beginning was like that, with things as simple as explaining that peace, unification of humanity, democracy and elimination of poverty and starvation are all linked and necessary to have a good world.

I guess you’re one of those “stop making shows political” people? Sci-fi shows are by essence here to teach morals, and even if it is unintentional the concept of imagining a future where humanity grew implies applying morals to the show. It’s not avoidable.

Solumbran,

Tell me you have no clue about video games without telling me you have no clue about video games.

Solumbran,

Big or not, they talked about great games, and there are many incredible open source games, however not always very popular.

I mean, technically even games like morrowind could be called open source now, with Open Morrowind.
