    I think the reason why this passage exists is pretty self-explanatory. They didn't deliberately leave it as a clue for you to write AU fanfics with.

    It's wholly unsurprising that there are still elements of society out there who would be uncomfortable with the idea of a decisive, messianic female lead saving the world. That doesn't make this narrative decision at all controversial or groundbreaking. I would also respectfully ask if you would avoid using the term 'genocide' flippantly to spice up your argument if you aren't entirely confident in your understanding of its historical, cultural, and racial significance.
    A request for respectfulness rings a little hollow when the first non-quotation line of your post is basically a dig at the person you're replying to.
