Is racism in Sci-Fi communities common in the anglosphere ?
I’ve seen repeatedly some strange representations of Asian people in movie and TV shows, even in the sci‑fi scene. I thought the “geeky” aspect of this subculture would make it more open and accepting, but maybe I was wrong?
Just now I posted in the r/ Stargate subreddit about obvious misrepresentations from pre‑2010 episodes, assuming that 2020s readers would be aware of how mentalities have changed. Yet I seem to have been mistaken, because the downvoting was intense:
• First minute after posting: +1
• Second minute: −1
• Ten minutes later: 500 views and 16% upvote stats, bringing the thread down to 0 karma.
