One notion presented in this thread that I strongly disagree with is the idea that some SC fanboys lean alt-right.

All in all, I would say they are just nerds. They don't support the ethno-state or "peaceful ethnic cleansing," they are more about a faux-great Gatsby spaceship and some marketing talking points about immersion and fidelity. Alt-righters (even ones who play video games) aren't about that.

Nope.

I am just saying that most star citizen fanboys (i.e. ones on spectrum + r/sc) are not into "the ethno-state" and other super weird poo poo. Most of them are into dumb video gaming BS. They are nostalgic for 90s/early 2000s gaming culture and they've taken this nostalgia to the nth degree. But they are not weird, hosed racists; at least not the majority of them.

This is trivially disproven by looking at the post histories that are frequently posted. Stop being a doofus.

The movie was a satire, the novel has a pages long diatribe smack in the middle as to how it's the only way to have a proper society.

Guys.

It's possible to write an internally consistent novel written specifically from a character's point of view without any of that actually mapping to how you really think society should be.

It's like a lot of science fiction is about writing about an idea that you don't have to want to exist in real life, or something.

Go read The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress and tell me how consistent its world and politics are with Starship Troopers.

It's like Heinlein was an author of novels, or something.
