the problem with personally relating to a culture in a sci-fi series is people will say things slightly off color and I'll wanna gnaw on rocks about it
#cipher talk#'Ancient' about a culture that has living descendants and adherents to its religion#Implying the colonizing culture that's genocided it is a descendant culture#And tbf beta canon is inconsistent about this but most people have read one specific book!#Not about anyone I follow I just get very frustrated with how people read Hebitians because there's a cultural like#Background to what Hebitians are thar most people reading it seem to completely miss#Because to them they hear a culture get called ancient (= dead) and have no baggage about it. Why would they?#And they don't think about what descendancy means or about crypto-religions or when states weaponize race mixing#But if you have experience with this and hear the word ancient and almost have a flinch response and know it's not even just you because#Cultures you have no relationship to get called ancient (= dead) constantly as a form of political disenfranchisement#It's a popular point of view to put on people which is why it's a problem! That doesn't make it hurt less
