Feedback: Feeling disappointed by 6.55's narrative, and thus unsure about Dawntrail

[Raven2014]

I am 100% on board with that. Why you might ask? Because it's not real and I love Venat. Sure, sure, try to make people feel bad because 'GENOCIDE!!!!' WOOOOO scary!!! Na, we don't care.

Pretty much this.

The most confusing part for me about this is ... the alternative to a Venat's genocide is a Zodiak's genocide which would be something far worse. I also often asked can they provide a scenario where a solution can be found where no one have to be scarified, no tyrant, no genocide happen? Despite asking that for years, that question always get ignored, much less getting a satisfactory answer. I sometime wonder if they're just missing the point of fiction, or simply being contrarian for its own shake, or whether they're not familiar with settings that are not always unicorn and rainbow.

Take the Warhammer 40k for example:

- Space Marine is Cool.
- Inquisitor are badarse.
- The God Emperor is awesome.

But any of them would make even Hitler look like a saint. After all, xenophobic, racist, slavery are actually among the least offensive attributes you can list for humanity in that universe, dictatorship is often considered to be virtues, not tyranny. For example, what can be worse than being a slave? How about being turn into a servitor (mindless mechanical zombie) so you can be a slave for eternity? And if someone enjoy this work, it's not because they're celebrated all these things, but because we enjoy the fiction, that's it.

Some of the argument here kinda me once a while I would come across someone who try to argue the Warhammer's humanity is trashed by the modern 20th-21th century moral standard and should just let itself be wiped out. Like ... they're technically not wrong, but I do wonder how can someone miss the point of fiction that hard.
