Is the South less accepting?

[JakeWIlls92]

I have friends from all over the political spectrum who are fans of sci fi. In the American South there is this guy who goes to schools and speaks out against the influence of entertainment on youth. He says entertainment is creating a generation of killers. His favorite TV shows are all reality shows and Sitcoms. He is right wing. In that area of America is sci fi and geek culture less accepted than in other parts of America? Or is this a generation issue? Millennials grew up with video games and sci fi and are more accepting of different things?



I am a huge fan of military science fiction!

Do you think this is a genre that people on the right would love?

Once again, you are way off base. Even my little grandkids are into it. It has nothing to do with North, South, East, or West. All that crap is in your own bigoted little mind. Get a life, Loser.

People are people. Matters not where you live. Why try and make a division where there is none?

They said my generation watches so much TV they will never amount to anything....Yet they are dead and we are still doing fine..

One of my friends who support the Republican party digs military sci fi!

Sci fi primarily escapist tripe. This goes for those ridiculous super hero movies too - pure shit fed to the simple minded pigs by Hollywood Jews to fatten their bank accounts. It is really quite admirable - the Jews, that is. I have always admired the ability of Jews to establish and maintain wealth generating endeavors wherever they roam, usually upon the backs of the natives, and they do this based only upon their wits.

If I had to adopt a religious ideology it would be Judaism.

When I lived in Arkansas, the HS I went to had a Ad&D club that met during lunch, study hall and after school, the local Scout leader was in charge of the club.


so no, your attempt at bigotry is not based on facts.

Absolute bullshit. If you don't like sci-fi, that is fine. But to try and claim it is shit fed to the simple minded is pure bullshit.

Scifi is looking forward. It is imagining with no limitations. It is taking the barest glimmer and creating entire universes. But you want to claim it is a jewish plot. lmao Too funny.

Battlestar Galactica is forward-looking fiction that will lead to the advancement of humankind? Bitch, please! Go check out some Ed Wood flicks then get back to me on this, Guido.

As a fan of science fiction I agree that most sci-fi is tripe; however, the works of Heinlein, Le Guin, Arcthur C. Clark, Huxley, Verne, Niven, Neal Stephenson, Douglas Adams, Phillip K. Dick, Isaac Asimov and others are best categorized as speculative fiction or satire using futuristic settings or sci-fi themes to make social commentary or to provide insight into the human condition or the future and their works have value as literature.

The OP is wrong and generalizing ignorantly, and so is ZackB .

Well duhhh. Show me where it says it is a sin to watch a science fiction movie. Are you claiming it is the eleventh Commandment or something?

This thread should just go ahead and die.

there are people in religious circles who think it's a sin to read/watch anything secular especially sci fi type stuff. you really should know that.

why? because the winger troll tried to troll the thread and you don't like that he got his butt kicked?

I agree. but instead of discussing the o/p's question in that fashion, it became a flame fest.

I take offense when someone slanders a particular section of the country. It is bigotry.

No, no. I agree with you on the op, but not on Zack. Good fiction cuts across all genres, even porn. For example, Kubrick's "Space Odyssey" is a fine piece of fiction. Star Wars, on the other hand is total crap. "Fury Road" was a wonderful flick. Super Hero movies suck dirty taint.

Thus, maybe I did over-generalize. For that I admit my mistake.
