I don't normally mind this kind of stuff but it being so direct was way too much. But that show's magic system and fantasy was already fucked from the start so I guess in a way it fits.

I've always been of the opinion that if a magical setting is complex enough (ie magic isn't just Avatar tier bullshit), then it's dumber if they don't apply that magic to societal and technological development.

I apply the same standard to technology. If someone is running around with nanotech armor and people are just casually reviving the dead with clones and memory transfers and shit, there better not be anyone sick/disabled/starving in that setting.

fantasy genre was always rooted in realism. if not then why are there ruling systems in a world of magic? people are not whimsical, society is an important concept to the survival of an species and so is its development. any society, no matter how fantastical, will inevitably evolve in a set path according to its necessities. you're a retard if a phone analogy filters you this bad.

obviously, everyone in-universe is talking in their local language
but the assumption is that its translated for the sake of the audience

the audience lives in 20XX, so it makes sense to translate it to our contemporary english, the characters are all contemporary to each other
if someone is speaking archaic english, then it is a sign they come from an even older time than everyone else

alice in wonderland and midsummer nights dream were rather explicitly unrealistic, at times even illogical
LOTR itself was not meant to be literal, realistic, or even plausible, it was framed as a re-telling of a myth passed down through thousands of years and so only the broad strokes of the story remain "real" and the rest rather explicitly are meant to be taken symbolically rather than real

The difference between sex and gender isn't a political belief any more than the difference between red and blue is.

>if there's sick and disabled people in that setting it's due to societal or economic reasons. disenfranchised people will always exist in any society.
But the degree of disenfranchisement and from what is dependent on the base line level of resources in a society.

As an example, it would not make sense for a society set on earth to have people deprived of *air* because air is ubiquitous. It would genuinely cost more to deny people access to it than for it to be freely available.

If, and I'm just spit-balling here, a super genius came up with a nanotech that gives everyone minor shapeshifting, enhanced physical and mental abilities, and a healing factor, and that nano-technology could be spread like a virus, then it would not make sense for a lot of bad shit to exist in that setting past the development of that tech. You'd literally require convoluted bullshit like the super genius is magically compelled to be evil and somehow able to remotely control expression of that shit for that to even be possible. And then if that super genius ever stopped being evil, what happens to the tech? Do they just forget they made it?

Collective disenfranchisement fundamentally cannot require more resources than enfranchisement unless all the most powerful people in a society that could change that, whether economic, military, magical, scientific, cultural, or political are cartoon villains or imbeciles. If that isn't the case, then the writers themselves are imbeciles.

>But in the real world
We have a lot of cartoon villains and imbeciles.
