a light too bright for only one

Why is Miolee thriving, trading and swapping and planning a future among the stars? You say everyone would have noticed if reds were people. Maybe everyone has noticed, except you.

i’ve been trying my best not to find out news about red “cleaning” and i still know that cene didn’t integrate. like, yes, if you make up a bunch of false statements it almost looks that reds could be people! sort of like how if you say that no photograph has ever captured all the moons together it almost looks like there are only two of them! but, uh, it’s false. so.

…and mira’s going to answer the rest of this so i don’t have to think about it

So first of all I want you to know that I’ve reported you to Tumblr for harassing my hypersensitive wife who has repeatedly asked for you to stop, you asshole. As for the rest of your “points”:

If you want to know whether reds being people is a minority idea you can look at surveys! Looks like it is. Gosh. How about that. If you want to know whether reds are people, that’s technically slightly more complicated, but still not very complicated.

>Why did the most valuable green in the world use his greatest invention as leverage to save red lives?

It’s pretty obvious to anyone with a brain that he doesn’t care about red lives, he cares about making it easier for places to do cleaning, because he thinks it works and he wants there to be less pollution. If he cared about red lives, he’d be sanctioning Rivik. 

>Why isn’t the international community on your side, demanding that Anitam reverse this cruel injustice?

Because if anyone takes a stand against Anitam, they’re risking FTL, and no one wants to do that. If you want to know what people think, though, the vast majority are against the blackmail. What a shock.

>Why has a memoir of a red life sold millions of copies around the world?

And five years back a book supposedly written from the point of view of the author’s cat (you know that cats aren’t people, right?) sold twelve million copies in Cene alone! Hint: the book was not actually written by a cat. People thought it was funny because people pretending to be cats is funny. Or, alternatively, you can look at the sales of fiction novels if you’re confused by the concept that sometimes people by books about things that aren’t true.

>Why is Miolee thriving, trading and swapping and planning a future among the stars?

Did you know that Miolee’s per-capita GDP is among the lowest in the world? I wonder why.

Finally, I’ll leave you with a few questions of my own.

If reds are people, then why did they continue to cooperatively train replacements in Orvara after Lathande? It was obvious to everyone that we were going to get rid of them, and we drove the Lathande ones into the wilderness! This was not a difficult problem to figure out!

If reds are people, then why do most theologians not realize this? Figuring things like that out is literally their job!

planets

planets where i can have babies

no risk of reds walking around

cons:

i’d have to learn a new language

probably lots of other people want to do the same thing

[Before FTL.]

[Answered before FTL.]

so first of all stop sending me asks about reds this isn’t hard

[Answered before FTL.]

if reds were sentient they’d all have killed themselves by now. no person would spend their whole life polluted with no chance of being better. they’ve been doing that for generations
