“DEAF TO THE JEWS” the man shouted, holding the boombox aloft in the air, wearing an old Wehrmacht uniform.
Legions of uniformed dancers followed him through the street in formation.
Satisfied, he passed the boombox to an attendant, grasped a microphone, and began to rap.
It wasn’t the best timeline, it was true, but it certainly it wasn’t the worst, either.

Nah, just make sure the women in the setting fit the setting. Plus, what do we know about this game? It could be just fine.
Ugh…
Transhumanism destroys gender/sex binaries by enabling mass alteration of bodies, sex, and gender.
Done properly it will be “Post-Feminist” because Transhumanism massively weakens the boundaries around what the term “woman” even means, and fundamentally alters the mechanics of human reproduction. (I mean, just take the idea of artificial wombs by itself and you’ll get big changes.)
Feminism itself is already struggling to adapt to the world it has created with only modern technology levels. The “Feminists” of 2065 (or whatever) will likely be very different from the ones of 2017.
WE USED TO HAVE A GENDER BINARY
The year is 2064. Thoughts are binary. Sex is not.

Of course, having seen a bit of Tenchi again recently, it strikes me just how much each of the characters is SPACE [feudal fantasy type].
Mihoshi is of course a Space Constable and so on. Overall it’s still a chosen one farm boy warrior hero fantasy, but further emphasized by making the entire planet the backwater rural area.
And I can’t say I really object. It injects life into the setting and characters in a way that works for the kind of genre it is, and what is creativity but the finding new links between existing concepts?
The year is 2064. It has been 26 years since the United States of America collapsed in the Justice War, replaced by the Special Action District by order of the World Court as punishment for its sins. The last surviving members of the Alt Right are a group of buff tradgay paramilitary cyborgs existing in the forgotten Undercity of New York. They have just radicalized a group of trapwives into spreading the WHITEOUT virus into major Population Replenishment Centers…
You are detective GEOF BAILEY, an agender multiple system cyborg and member of the New York SAD Police, tasked with ensuring the interjustice of the last metropolis in the land that used to be known as America. Can you stop the last fascist remnants of a dead country from destroying the diversity of the city?

FWIW, i’m someone born in the UK but with background in bangladesh, and i get annoyed when other asians ask me ‘where are you FROM from’ after i tell them i’m from london the first time. It’s not just a white thing.
“But I’ve always lived in the UK,” he said, “never anyway else. I’ve not even set foot outside the British Isles.”
“Yes,” said the man, “but where are you FROM”
The man’s face opened, revealing several strange, glossy, robotic orbs. Beams of various colours and intensities swept over the questioned man’s body.
“HAPLO GROUP 2A, PRIMARY GENETIC DENSITY,” the robot man said in the middle of the restaurant.
A hush fell over the guests at the dining tables as the robot’s face slowly closed, synthetic skin seamlessly fusing to hide the cold mechanical components underneath.
“So anyhow,” said the robot man, “how about Liverpool vs. Manchester United?”
I guess one of the symptoms of this “identity confusion“ is that asking “Where are you from - originally? What are you?“ is sometimes considered a micro-aggression, and sometimes people identify strongly with that place, and sometimes people from the Old Country ask you “Where are you from?“ in exactly the same way, but it can’t be a micro-aggression in that case.
Is it a grave insult to order a pizza in Italian when it turns out the waiter is Greek? Is it a grave insult to order a pizza in Italian when *you* are Italian? Is it an insult to ask somebody for directions in Mandarin because that person *looks* Chinese? Does it matter if you are a Mandarin native speaker? Does it matter if you’re a Cantonese native speaker? Does it matter if this happens in the US, or in France, and you don’t speak French?
Does it matter if your family was forced to renounce their heritage in one of the World Wars or by Stalinist resettlement?
If you try hard to keep your identity and culture alive, you will have an answer ready to “Where are you from?“.
Treating “Where are you from, originally?“ as a kind of slight enforces the mainstream US categorisation into back, white, brown, Asian, Latin American, native American.
Sometimes, the question is where *in China* are you from? What place exactly? Are you from the same place *I* am from?
what is your ethnoracial heritage? wait, just spit into this test tube and I’ll send it to 23andme myself.
For what it’s worth, Americans always want me to really specifically say where I’m from, even if they have never heard of the place, and are most satisfied with my answer if I also give the distance to the next NATO base that has marines on it.
Americans also really specifically tell me what state they are from, what the chief export of that state is, and the distance from their home town to the state capital.
My point was that these “microagressions“ are only microagressions if you ask them as a member of the wrong ethnic group. There is something there that gibes me pause. But if you assume we are all members of one nationality, without any subcultural divisions, that is a microagression as well.
Identity politics claims that ethno-cultural divisions are fundamental to our identities, at least until a white person asks about them to understand a person’s identity better, at which point the ethno-cultural divisions become a socially constructed tool of oppression and marginalisation.
I can answer this: it’s polite to ask an African person where they are from, it’s a microaggression to ask an African American person where they are from.
It’s polite to ask where in China a Chinese person is from, it’s a microaggression to ask a Chinese American person where in China they are from, or (worse) where in Asia they are from, or (even worse) where in the world they are from.
What, you can’t tell if someone is Chinese or Chinese American just by looking?

Turns out HITLER was the time traveler
Yeah, why do you think they made time travel illegal? Because they have some idea what they’re doing and adequately plan for the future?
Fuck no. It’s because the entire Prime timeline was rendered completely inaccessible by one guy who has since spread to 1,489 other timelines, probably over 1,600 by now.
Every time you travel to the past a new world is created. You can never re-enter your own past and change it. You can only make a new one.
Because of Hitler, our original past was lost to us and is now unknowable. He’s the first time traveler, and the greatest criminal in history.

This is inaccurate, of course. The government required a substantial reduction in metal content because they were too resistant to bullets. Now it’s just the base chassis and the rest relies more on plastic. (Cyborgs are, naturally, exempt from these rules because of the 2nd amendment.)
“I just wanted to print out a copy of my resume. Now I have these soldiers in my house and they won’t leave”
In 3-d printing future, the government will hijack your printer and use it to print drone soldiers.
No lie, I was planning to use a version of that as a plot element once upon a time.
