Tumblr post by creekfiend Jul 27 • • I don't know, I guess my opinion about worldbuilding tends towards "people on the margins of society have stories that are important and worth telling, and I am interested in reading about those people and their experiences" and this includes fantasy and scifi societies. that's really all there is to it. I'm not interested in fictional societies in which people specifically like me happen to not exist in the margins. I am quite interested in reading stories about people who exist in the margins but who might otherwise not be like me, in many ways. and I just think that this is not a perspective I ever hear people talk about or acknowledge the possibility of when there are discussions about whether or not fiction is either "cozy and escapist" or "all about miserable oppression porn"
