If I were to put the current state of the science fiction genre into SF terms, it would be a space ship under attack. I wont say which ship Im thinking of, because this introduction would quickly dissolve into insufferable megafans arguing about whether or not the Enterprise could take down an Imperial Star Destroyer (no way in hell).

The crew of our ship is being thrown from side to side, red lights are flashing and a klaxon is blaring. Sensors indicate the entity attacking the ship is an amorphous blob of low intelligence but extremely high malevolence. Engineering reports an imminent hull breachif the captain doesnt react quickly, they will be little more than space dust.

If this were an actual story, the crew would try to figure out why this alien force is so hostile, and what it is doing in formerly friendly territory in the first place. We can drop the analogy now, because we already know what is plaguing science fiction.

Our crisis is a cult of politically correct crybabies intent on bringing science fiction in line with their ominously authoritarian groupthink at any cost. They are known collectively as social justice warriors (SJWs for short) and you are probably quite familiar with them if you are reading Forbidden Thoughts. For those that arent, SJWs blend together the worst aspects of feminism, slacktivism, manufactured outrage, Marxism, and top it off with a generous helping of virtue signaling.

Virtue signaling can best be explained as the devotion of a persons entire existence to explaining how wonderful they (and their friends) are, and how terribly wrong everyone else is. The point of virtue signaling is to demonstrate superiority, for the purpose of consolidating power, prestige and financial reward. The culture of social justice is set up to reward the loudest and best complainers and to punish anyone that stands against them.

Virtue signaling is the best way to identify a social justice warrior in the wild. Many aspects of their appearance, like a tendency towards dyed hair, are not all that different from those of nerd culture. I use the term nerd here lovingly, a considerable portion of my fanbase is comprised of nerds, and I am a closet nerdas ironic as that may sound coming from a flamboyant homosexual.

The other surefire way to recognize SJWs is that they are always complaining, even more than typical SF fans! And they dont complain about physics or continuity or character arcs, they complain about representation, diversity and toxic masculinity. If you said people of color to a group of fans a decade ago, they might think you were referring in a roundabout way to green aliens. Now with the influence of social justice, they know that the most important thing in science fiction is having a bisexual Arab of size as a main character.

The final important thing to know about SJWs is they are incapable of telling the truth. They often have dark reasons for their mendacious naturethere have been a continuous stream of cases where SJWs, held up as paragons of virtue defending women, minorities and LGBT people from the disgusting bigotry of regular fans, are actually proven to be abusers, rapists and pedophiles. For more information on SJWs, read Vox Days treatise on the subject, SJWs Always Lie: Taking Down the Thought Police.

The obvious question on everybodys mind is: why would they invade the world of science fiction? For one thing, science fiction has always been progressive on the subjects of race and gender. Star Trek included a black woman and a Russian man on the bridge crew in the 1960s, far ahead of comedy and drama. Star Trek didnt get everything right however, the science officer should have been Asian, and Gene Roddenberry presumptively decided Starfleet Command would be stupid enough to let the Scottish into space.

Secondly, science fiction simply doesnt mix well with authoritarian control and the language police. SF is at its best when it is deeply anti-authoritarian, whether it is Philip K. Dicks vision of the future in books like A Scanner Darkly, or the galactic empire we all despised while watching Star Wars. Okay, I will admit to admiring the empires fashionable uniforms and devotion to discipline, but you get my point.

Science fiction is a blend of dreaming about the future, imagining how mankind will cope with change and viewing our own culture through a different lens. We need healthy and robust science fiction now more than we ever have before. While it is true that flying cars and personal rocketships are nowhere to be found, we do have Amazon erasing the books of George Orwell from the Kindle devices they were loaded on without warning. That turned out to be a rights dispute with the publisher, but can you imagine a worse book to disappear down the memory hole than 1984?

I am not arguing that science fiction should only be written by conservatives. Writers of all political persuasions can successfully write really good SF, by not putting their politics first. China Mieville may be a commie, but I personally enjoyed Perdido Street Station.

In fact my favorite show in science fiction & fantasy is Joss Whedons Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Joss Whedon aligns himself with SJWs politically, which is fun to watch because he has been run off Twitter by SJWs at least once for the crime of displeasing the gods of diversity.

Buffy is an amazing characterher feminine qualities are part of her strength. She saves the world using her female vulnerability, not in spite of it. In fact, her femininity is the only thing that makes her capable of heroic feats. She is a perfect role model for girls, especially compared to the characters SJWs come up.

Im referring to the female characters in 2016s megaflop Ghostbusters film. My review of the film, which led directly to my permanent banning from Twitter, sensitively called them teenage boys with tits. The crass personality of the characters and denial of feminine virtues sends a confusing message to viewers, which is probably why the movie was such a failure at the box office.

Just by reading Forbidden Thoughts youve joined the resistance against SJWs. If you are going to contribute to this culture war, there are three things you must understand about SJWs:

It may be more accurate to say that some SJWs dont care about SF, and others hold a deep hatred for the genre. They are only in the genre to control things and act as gatekeepers, ensuring all popular content meets their exacting standards of political correctness. Those standards constantly shift at their whims, by the way.

The typical SJW is not knowledgeable about SF. They are probably a rabid fan of a particular franchise like Dr. Who, and their constant references to Harry Potter make it the clear series of choice for SJWs everywhere. If they have read classic science fiction, they despise it. If they have read 1984 they consider the society of Oceania perfect, except that Big Sister should be in charge instead of Big Brother. What we read as a warning about authoritarian governments, they consider a masturbatory aide.
