If reds being people is a weird minority idea, why did the three biggest countries on Amenta integrate cleaned reds as citizens before FTL was even on the table? Why did the most valuable green in the world use his greatest invention as leverage to save red lives? Why isn’t the international community on your side, demanding that Anitam reverse this cruel injustice? Why has a memoir of a red life sold millions of copies around the world? (1/2)

Why is Miolee thriving, trading and swapping and planning a future among the stars? You say everyone would have noticed if reds were people. Maybe everyone has noticed, except you.

i’ve been trying my best not to find out news about red “cleaning” and i still know that cene didn’t integrate. like, yes, if you make up a bunch of false statements it almost looks that reds could be people! sort of like how if you say that no photograph has ever captured all the moons together it almost looks like there are only two of them! but, uh, it’s false. so.

…and mira’s going to answer the rest of this so i don’t have to think about it

So first of all I want you to know that I’ve reported you to Tumblr for harassing my hypersensitive wife who has repeatedly asked for you to stop, you asshole. As for the rest of your “points”:

If you want to know whether reds being people is a minority idea you can look at surveys! Looks like it is. Gosh. How about that. If you want to know whether reds are people, that’s technically slightly more complicated, but still not very complicated.

>Why did the most valuable green in the world use his greatest invention as leverage to save red lives?

It’s pretty obvious to anyone with a brain that he doesn’t care about red lives, he cares about making it easier for places to do cleaning, because he thinks it works and he wants there to be less pollution. If he cared about red lives, he’d be sanctioning Rivik. 

>Why isn’t the international community on your side, demanding that Anitam reverse this cruel injustice?

Because if anyone takes a stand against Anitam, they’re risking FTL, and no one wants to do that. If you want to know what people think, though, the vast majority are against the blackmail. What a shock.

>Why has a memoir of a red life sold millions of copies around the world?

And five years back a book supposedly written from the point of view of the author’s cat (you know that cats aren’t people, right?) sold twelve million copies in Cene alone! Hint: the book was not actually written by a cat. People thought it was funny because people pretending to be cats is funny. Or, alternatively, you can look at the sales of fiction novels if you’re confused by the concept that sometimes people by books about things that aren’t true.

>Why is Miolee thriving, trading and swapping and planning a future among the stars?

Did you know that Miolee’s per-capita GDP is among the lowest in the world? I wonder why.

Finally, I’ll leave you with a few questions of my own.

If reds are people, then why did they continue to cooperatively train replacements in Orvara after Lathande? It was obvious to everyone that we were going to get rid of them, and we drove the Lathande ones into the wilderness! This was not a difficult problem to figure out!

If reds are people, then why do most theologians not realize this? Figuring things like that out is literally their job!

If reds are people, then why did they go for generations polluted with no hope of ever being clean without killing themselves?

pros of trying to swap into rivik:

planets

planets where i can have babies

no risk of reds walking around

planets!!

cons:

i’d have to learn a new language

probably lots of other people want to do the same thing

mira and i are probably especially at a disadvantage

i had to stop twice while writing this so maybe living there would mess with my sensitivity issues 

[flameofcertainty]

miolee gets a planet! orvara gets no planet!

fuck you

[flameofcertainty]

he sucks at morality but this is nicely written

Afen Kisantami is not the only genius born into the wrong caste. He’s just the one who managed to get around all the artificial obstacles we put in his way.

How many more Afens are there out there, undiscovered because we never gave them the chance? How many have there been, throughout history, who died without ever reaching their true potential? How much sooner could we have had this, if we had let people do what they’re good at?

[flameofcertainty]

how. how does this help anything. even if you care about reds ours are already dead. you’re not going to bring them back by punishing random purples who had nothing to do with the decision

[flameofcertainty]

‘let’s punish countries for things that happened seven years ago that weren’t even wrong let alone illegal’

-anitam, apparently

[flameofcertainty]

...

[flameofcertainty]

Countries only get to go to space if they don't murder reds :D :D :D :D

what

fucking what

that can’t be true, you’re just trying to bait me because i’m hyper, i’m not going to let you ruin my day

[flameofcertainty]

so apparently ftl happened 

we’re going to go to spaaaaaace and have so many baaaaaaaaaaabiiiiiieeees

[flameofcertainty]

ok but you are talking about reds. You said things about reds. That happened.

[Elia deletes this ask.]

[flameofcertainty]

If you don't want people sending you asks about reds, have you tried not talking about reds? Just an idea.

have you seen my inbox

no matter how much i don’t talk about reds people keep sending me asks about them

[flameofcertainty]

What would have caused people to notice?

[Before FTL.]

pro tip: if you are going to send me asks about reds, you can try instead not doing that

[flameofcertainty]

it's obvious to anyone who thinks about it for five seconds that reds aren't people, but it's obvious to anyone who thinks about it for long enough to actually form a meaningful conclusion that reds are people.

[Answered before FTL.]

so first of all stop sending me asks about reds this isn’t hard

 but second … you realize you’re the one with the weird minority opinion, right?  if reds were people everyone would have noticed

[flameofcertainty]

the things people throw down their garbage chutes aren't ALIVE AND SENTIENT, you heartless moron

[Answered before FTL.]

if reds were sentient they’d all have killed themselves by now. no person would spend their whole life polluted with no chance of being better. they’ve been doing that for generations

now stop sending me asks about reds

baby next spring probably

[flameofcertainty]

ohhhhh i get it you’re using the assumption that reds are people. you should say when you’re doing that, it’s a really weird assumption so most people will probably be confused

i mean you shouldn’t because you shouldn’t be making me think about reds, but

anyways they aren’t people and this is obvious to anyone who thinks about it for five seconds, which is way longer than anyone wants to think about reds. so no i don’t understand why you’d be upset about burning them alive, that’s like being upset when an incinerator worker burns the garbage people throw down the chutes

your government drove thousands of people into the wilderness to die of starvation and the elements

if you wanna support your toxic ideology i can’t stop you, but you’re damn lucky i’m having a good sensitivity day

have you considered that maybe you shouldn’t harass hypersensitives about reds? because you shouldn’t harass hypersensitives about reds

if you care so much about garbage go tell an incinerator worker, i’m sure they’d loooove to hear about how they’re a murderer
