( No Title )
posts about how humans are the “weirdest” species in the Universe, the “hold my beer” species so to speak, are also riddled with human-centric arrogance, in my opinion. Yeah funny joke haha humans are so weird, but like are we? We’ve never met aliens before, so how the fuck would we know? I don’t know, they just irk me personally, ‘cause I don’t find humans the most remarkable or weird species on Earth, let alone in the entire fucking universe 🙃🙃🙃
I agree that they’re human-centric, but I also acknowlege they started as a deliberate subversion of the also human-centric “humans are the boring normal guys in groups of aliens” trope which is extremely pervasive in science fiction (and fantasy).
It started with flipping the script on its head and saying “what if humans were the space orcs instead of being the ‘default option’.
