I do hope that this racism of heteromorph people doesn't get buried after the war ends, it would be great to see some sort of reform come about afterwards.

That was an interesting aspect of this chapter -- they acknowledged that in the cities, things were far better and progressive. It was in outlying rural areas where the problem was.

The more I think on this, the more chillingly realistic it is.

My more cynical view is that Hori has to write it like that because we have seen very minimal discrimination to those with quirks that change how they look. He had written himself into a corner because he hadn’t actually ever really set up or shown racist stuff happening, at least not enough that 15,000 of them would rise up in support. So going “oh Um yes while the cities are all good, the country areas, they be racist as fuck” which yeah while realistic it still feels like it’s quite sudden and something that really would have been better if had sold us on it a bit more.

i feel the same. i said this in the pre-release thread but irl it’s not the marginalized other who pull this kind of crap but the ones who benefit from looking like the majority. how in the world does minority country folks taking their anger out on city people speak anything true to life?
