Now, let’s talk about fictional dictatorships, like the House of Agon. Why do I like them? It’s not because they are heroic or because of their lousy system. It’s because it’s a great concept to speak metaphorically to our own society’s conditions and history. I like Game of Thrones and House Targaryen as well, not because they’re heroes. No, I like them for what they say about us.
The difference between your fandom and mine is I recognize that Inhumans society is messed up, or was assuming there’s enough left to get it going again. I recognize they are there as a sci-fi concept to explore the problems in our world, including that they’re racist. I don’t try to claim heroics or things to admire when there are none.
