| No, they aren’t typically “designed” for the same demographic. While some like both, others like fantasy but not science fiction and vice versa. They are different genres. You can’t include Tolkien among science fiction authors and expect people to take your argument seriously.\ I should have said ... |

He's 10 years too late then. He knew what he was signing up for back in 2014, he's a fan after all. |

true, but I would throw tolkien, JK Rowling, George RR Martin, Suzanne Collins and Stephanie Meyer into the fantasy genre which tends to attract the same audience as Sci Fi. Characters are designed for the same demographic. |

I am and it's the latter. I like John, he's very entertaining even after his current rant. |

| Story time! The pilot for Star Trek had a female first officer, but the studio denied it. After the changeup, Roddenberry hired Nichols for the role of Uhura, but the studio tried to deny that, too. Roddenberry fought to not only keep her on, but to also give her speaking lines, which the studio al... |

| This isn't an embattled country that needs to be protected, it is being run by evil people that are deliberately murdering children and are currently purposefully starving the people and barring any actual aid from reaching there while murdering medics. In many cases, they themselves are publishing... |

Sorry, not the qanon inspired child sacrifice. I meant animal sacrifice. But even that's not that widespread anymore. |

| Cosplay, in its many varieties (the "vampire lifestyler" scene being just one of the many genres of cosplay), isn't just a rich person's thing. Plenty of middle-class and even working-class folks have been known to indulge in it too. Yes, cosplay is popular across classes but nerd culture... |

| No, Zionism is quite a bit OLDER than the 1930's. Quite a few Jews had already been moving in, with intent to colonize and displace the indigenous Palestinians, ever since the 1880's or so. Already, Zionist Jews had been doing things like buying large tracts of land from absentee landlords and evic... |

| I don't even know how to respond to this ignorance. There will be no long term peace in the Middle East until the war criminals running Israel are prosecuted and the entire state is dismantled. that's your solution?

| I think it illustrates that some bored wealthy people engage in hidden activities in order to quench depraved desires. Cosplaying vampires is likely the tip of the iceberg. In Victorian Britain seances and Ouija boards to communicate with spirits was all the rage. the list is endless. everything fro... |

| ^^^ You agree with Boyega saying: “Lemme tell ya, ‘Star Wars’ always had the vibe of being in the most whitest, elite space. It’s a franchise that’s so white that a Black person existing in [it] was something. You can always tell it’s something when some 'Star Wars' fans try to say, ‘Well, we had La... |
