Did I mention my theory to you that it's simply another example of the mentality which results in so much bad discrimiflip?
I mean, bad discrimiflip is basically "the social order is different and LOOK IT'S ALL HORRIBLE NOW I WARNED YOU." Reactionary change-and-progress fearing SF is basically "the environment I might be in is different and LOOK IT'S ALL HORRIBLE NOW I WARNED YOU."
(Did I also mention I found a button that says "I have no problem with change as long as everything stays exactly the same"? I get the impulse. Oh, yes, I get it. I just don't embrace it.)
