  Alien Crabs and Dragonpox: how venereal diseases are portrayed in SFF and why we need more of it in a sex-positive light!

strange fellow

We need more STDs in science fiction? These people are fucking perverts man.

Why do we need sexually transmitted diseases IN SPACE discussed in a sex positive light? Shouldn’t they have figured out safe sex IN SPACE? I thought these stories are set in the future? I’d think they would have cured all these problems? Who the fuck wants to read about a character getting space herpes? I bet Pat will claim everyone has an STD because Niki told him so since she’s prob got herpes and who knows what else.

Also, what do space STD’s have to do with a good story? It’s a really weird thing to focus on - plus isn’t this supposed to be the future but they can’t figure out how to not get crabs?

That lady has a peckah!

Why is Pat on a panel about writing for IP when he has never written that?

Never watched Star Trek but I always think about Mike from RLM’s critique of new Star Trek because it can be applied to all new science fiction. That it isn’t about this fantasy in the future where the world is a utopia and humans collaborate to solve problems, it’s literally just about making modern allegories but IN SPACE! Of course people living millions of years in the future and exploring star systems would be literal Nazis or allegories for Trump. Makes sense.

Which one of his books was it where the only thing he ever talked about was how the one character was a gay black marine?

Very troubling that pat would make that character have space aids. Why does he have space aids? Because he's gay? Because he's black? Both? Problematic Pat strikes again.

Who needs a good story when you can just talk about STDs, gay/tranny creatures ,and a female main character?

 

[Steve Ramone]

Doesn't Pat have herpes or something, and claims all adults who aren't virgins have it? They say write what you know.

As close as he got was that wererat story and all it did was bring down the guys series. I thought someone looked into and compared sales and the one pat did had worse sales the others. I dont even think it was a whole book but a short story. Correct me if Im wrong, because that backstory around that wererat job is vague to me.

 

[Toothless Enthusiast]

Gonna make an early predication and guess he’ll wear the classic Pew Pew/backwards hat combo.

Much like Pat, a lot of "sci-fi" writers today would rather write about their personal problems and politics (trumpf in space!) and put a spaceship in for a line or two then actually write science fiction, which they hate.

They have stds, is what I'm saying.

Also oh no no no these writers are just as popular as pat hahahaha.

 

[Treat Yourself]

He saw "eating everything" and jumped at it. He's going to be confused when he shows up. He's fat.

He does claim this - I’m guessing Niki gave it to him but she said it’s not a big deal because everyone has it and he believed her because he’s only had sex with two women and married both of them.

Classic Pat - gets divorced and gets herpes his first time having sex post Ade.

 

[JoshFromMichigan]

They added fake black man, Tobias Buckell, to Saturday's Oinking. I'm sure it will be riveting.

Who would have thought hitching your wagon to someone that was in a poly relationship would be a superspreader?

It really shows how little creativity these hack sci fi writers have - they think science fiction MUST be set in space when some of the best science fiction has nothing to do with space. Look at something like the twilight zone - science fiction yet probably only a handful of episodes were set in space. Sci Fi should be based on an idea of “What If” but these dopes can’t be bothered to actually come up with an interesting concept / idea.

But no, it’s just take what’s happening now and put in space and have people complain about their modern problems. Don’t forget Pat is very proud of his Hacky “Fonald Plump” character.

Big time - this is gonna be sex having Pat talking about herpes so watch out ladies!
