    A working class centric narrative in a fantasy setting is pushing a conservative agenda?

      No, calling it realism is pushing a conservative agenda. Because you’re mixing up consensus reality, which is a bourgeois tool of oppression, with the experiences of the working class. Thereby normalising the oppression we face from the realist bourgeoisie.

      It’s like going around saying Star Wars is a piece of homophobic media just because Luke Skywalker is a farmer and you want to push a narrative that farmers are intrinsically homophobic. It’s not true.

          No, consensus reality is bourgeois oppression. It’s continually served as a justification for genocides all over the world for hundreds of years

            …public transit is consensus reality?

            Bro you’re trying to see evil where there’s just beige paint. Get a glass of water or something.

              No, public transit isn’t consensus reality. You’re the one saying public transit is realism, I’m saying it isn’t.
