>>212241482Andy weir is, I think, a bit of a Redditor. Still, he’s a great writer notwithstanding his proclivity to inject Reddit humor into his work, though it is kept to a minimum. A true Redditor would’ve hamfisted obvious woke stuff into the book. “Ryland the troon is in an interspecies gay relationship with Rocky the alien, they both cry “trans rights” in celebration as they breed the perfect Taumoeba.”
>>212241299>flashbacksThe flashbacks do not cut to earth in the same timeline as the events happening in space. A good but if the book is flashbacks, but they are flashbacks of Ryland regaining his memory of what transpired on earth before his mission.
>not giving White men screentime.The setting of the movie is on a spaceship with a sole occupant - a White man. 2nd main character is a CGI alien (NOT a spacenigger), and a distant third are everybody else on earth involved with the mission.
>>212241195Without adding new characters or changing anything too drastically, they might make someone gay/dyke, or be very conspicuously in an interracial marriage, or give an inordinate amount of screentime to some minor character who is obviously a troon (queens gambit, girls’ home piano player springs to mind). They might make Rocky gay. Spin up some shit about how his species reproduces via parthenogenesis or some odd way where there are tons of sexes and anybody can fuck anybody and produce a kid. Maybe incorporate a lecture on racism between Ryland and Ricky. We will wait and see. Is it pretty much a guarantee that Amazon is gonna woke it up?
