With all seriousness, I think one of, if not the, worst mistake of western civilization was the invention of copyright. It was a mistake, it should never have been invented, the very concept of intellectual property should never have crossed the line into fiction and music and art. It should have remained in the realm of patents and trademarks and the creative endeavors should have been left on the level of minstrelsy in the eyes of the law.
Intellectual property is a good thing when it is limited to the ownership of the individual. What we have now is a bastardized form thanks to companies like Disney and politicians.
The correct term you're looking for is weaponized autism.
Autism is certainly involved if shit like Eragon and The Golden Compass can get made.
The right doesn't seem to appreciate telling STORIES, and when they do bother it's shit like The Passion of the Christ.
You'd think conservatives and libertarians would be able to churn out stuff like The Expanse left and right but nope nope nope.
The right has told plenty of stories, their kids now own the rights and sell it to leftists to warp the messages.
Fuck fandom.
Seriously, fuck fandom.
