Fuck solarpunk. I buy carefully, not mindlessly, based on what I’m getting and for how long, with the intent of not having to replace what I buy. So let’s get that out of the way, this isn’t about the merits of environmental preservation or efficient use of our resources.
I need mass media because I ENJOY PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. I don’t want to live in the fucking “gay space commune”, I want to live in a world that feels good to me, and you solarpunk assholes seem to say people like me who escape from reality because they’ve NEVER been capable of supporting themselves should start a fucking garden?!
Newsflash. I. Don’t. Like. Your. “Utopia”. I never will. If you ever succeed in making your idea of a future a reality, I’ll burn it to the fucking ground as my revenge on you bastards. I hate your idea because all it does is change how I am oppressed as a disabled adult to how I was oppressed as a special needs child illegally taken from my parents by a corrupt mental health system.
You want to see a real utopia? A place where everyone is happy in the world they live in? Fucking find an oneirogenic drug that induces lucid dreams or create a VR metaverse.
Who I am in reality does not matter. Who I am in my mind can’t be expressed in a solarpunk world, only online. At least that’s how it used to be.
Why am I named the same as an Open Source Game? Cyperprep doesn’t have to mean “the future megacorps are not so bad!” but rather “megacorps control this dystopian future but they can’t always stop the signal and that means Open Source Software is the way to fight back”.
The difference between FOSS for smart devices and social networks and FOSS for games is that games are art and that means paid food production will take precedence over volunteer video games.
And no, you don’t get to say “get another hobby”. I know myself. I like technology. I don’t like preachy people. I stopped buying Apple when I stopped seeing unique-looking devices. I am a gamer. Most importantly, I am a sci-fi writer who wants optimistic stories that don’t assume the reader is a fully-capable person.
I am not demanding you write what I want to see. Only that you not try to turn reality into it. If you see this, once again, fuck solarpunk.
So you think hurting people to make things the way you want them is acceptable? Because of video games? You are a dangerous man child (or maybe just a child).
Confirmation indeed. It’s really too much to fucking ask that you NOT build another fucking prison? You, not me, are the sociopath. At least I reserve my angry rampage for if you succeed.
You judge me for liking what I like? You are literally trying to control my life by redefining society, and no, I’m not some rich skullfucker nor do I think people aren’t entitled to the same basic level of comfort I enjoy regardless of race, gender, eromantic orientation or anything else; they may not have it, but if you wanted real equality then you NEED to uplift people’s minimum living standard.
Apparently you care more about organic produce and trees than children or the homeless.
Who’s talking about building a prison? You’ve imagined an enemy in solarpunk that has nothing to do with solarpunk and are getting upset at an internet stranger that has made no claims about wanting to stop you from playing video games.
Then don’t build it and we’re fine. I’m angry because I’m disabled and Solarpunk is usually Ableist yet everyone is obsessed with social media detox and lumping all technologies in with it.
How do I live the life I want to live in a setting that tells me I “don’t really enjoy this, you’re just brainwashed by capitalism” over and over? By fighting back.
You and the aesthetic (idea) you follow are not powerless and you desire a world I am excluded from, purely because the part of my life I enjoy most (the fulfilment of escapism) doesn’t fit into that worldview. I am probably not going to change anything, but so be it I wanted my position to be clear. You propose taking away a life(style) that I enjoy, and I want to point out that is what you’re proposing. I cannot hold a job, I have issues which are permanent and pervasive that exclude any existence in a community-focused world and if solarpunk will not accommodate that then I will not accommodate it. I can’t kill an idea, nobody can, but maybe I can get people to realise that solarpunk is not about only good improvements, it has a dark side and that dark side is that there are innocent people who fall through the cracks when only “the greater good” is considered.

You build my dystopia, you’re imprisoning me. I am a cornered animal, do not fuck with me.
Ah confirmation.

You’ll understand when your 13.

The solarpunk you’ve imagined in your head is ableist. Solarpunk is but an aesthetic. Don’t assume so much and try to understand more nuance.
