it's ironic how many people have antagonistic knee-jerk reactions towards identifying as "made up" species found in myth and fantasy
but most of what they themselves identify with and uphold, is just memes: customs, laws, gender roles, currency, borders, titles, power structures etc
the validity of an idea should not be measured by how accepted it is in a dysfunctional, exploitative and self-sabotaging society
that whole pretense of rationality and skepticism is nauseating

@kiilas I used to be one of those people... I'm trying to better myself now, though, as I've increasingly realised that almost everything is "made up"
