Let’s just ditch this whole “fiction” thing. It will be easier. One can also challenge ideas. One doesn’t have to just bend over and accept intellectually unsound notions as “cultural appropriation” lying down. Respond: “like the alphabet? Foreign foods? The issue wasn’t copying Native American bread recipes, but rather killing them and stealing their land. Am I required to eat certain foods and listen to certain music based upon my genetic heritage?

Identity politics is the gateway drug by which the right wing wins hearts and minds. Drop the identity politics emphasis and support the “all sorts of humans are humans with equal rights to yourself” angle. That’s what any humanist ideology must do in 2022
