2. if providing a content warning spoils your thing you probably should have written it better

3. sometimes it can be fun to go into something blind! but that has to be a choice made on an individual basis, and refusing to provide content warnings because it's not YOUR ideal way of someone interacting with your content makes you an asshole

4. if your big reveal doesn't work if it's not sprung on someone without warning, it's not good anyway

Racism is a power structure. This is why "white supremacy" gets used a lot instead. A prison guard may personally have no negative opinions on Black people at all, they may even hold anti-racist beliefs, but just by doing their job, they are supporting white supremacy. Racist ideas make things easier for white supremacy, and you definitely have racist ideas in your head, but they aren't a necessary condition.

Society has been set up in a way where racism is the norm, it is automatic. If you just went about your life as if racism did not exist, you would be complicit in racism. Being anti-racist is hard. It takes constant effort, and often it's more about challenging white supremacy in degrees rather than everywhere all at once.

The conclusion was "this must be solarpunk" and I cannot emphasize how incorrect that is.

Whether or not this particular experimentation leads to less harmful man-made lighting, it isn't solarpunk.

Solarpunk is technology and infrastructure engineered to work in harmony with nature and community.

Changing nature to better fit human wants and needs is fundamentally human.

Every vegetable you've ever eaten is the product of humans changing nature to better fit human wants.

I don't know that bioluminescent plants are a function solution to anything and I'm sure there are a number if very valid reasons that utmost caution should be taken with their potential implementation, but there is nothing 'not in harmony with nature' about messing with plant genetics.

Thank paleoindigeous genetic engineers from mezo/South America for the existence or corn, for example:

Domesticated animals are because of humans changing nature to better fit our wants.

Literally half or more of the biomes on this planet are made by humans.

We are a terraforming species, just like elephants and ants and bison. Yes! Humans are not the only animals that terraform on Earth! But humans are certainly the ones that do it the most extensively and completely.

This can be used for ill, or it can be done toward mutual benefit, or it can be done to one benefits and the other is not adversely OR positively affected.

Bioluminescence may not harm the plants or other animals and creatures at all. It might harm. It might help, It might not do anything in particular.

Bioluminescence is used by mushrooms to attract bugs that then spread their spores. It's used by fish for camouflage, finding and attracting prey, as well as startling predators. It's used by fireflies to find a mate or attract prey. It's not unnatural at all.
