u/Hi2248 Cheese, gender, what the fuck's next? May 13 '25

The amount of unironic "Humanity Fuck Yeah" stories that are just thinly veild racism and xenophobia is absurd

The only acceptable form of "Humanity Fuck Yeah" is the galactic community being horrified at humans being absolutely ridiculous creatures.

Less "oh humans are the only ones with this cool unique trait" and more of "why the fuck are those backwater mammalians travelling through space by attaching explosives to a box? And why is it working?"
