One question I got at LCA was what stories in popular culture we can point our chosen friends and family at. It's not enough to get them to watch these shows and movies. We need to be able to point at the real life news that have similar things happening so they realise it's not just Sci-fi. We need to have gentle empathic conversations with them. We can't argue or harrang them. I know you aren't hassling your chosen ones. But there will have been convos where they feel attacked.

@onepict This is thoroughly decent, and I'm glad to read it. Current doctrine is that people's perspective does not matter, especially if they 'feel attacked'. I think this is a grave error.

Indeed and sometimes folk aren't ready for the discussion. So we need to not slam the door but to leave it open. Which is the hard part.
