And that's why the antis are wrong. They ignore the Jesus effect from Usagi, and try to build CT around the idea that it's a normal person running it, and that normal methods were used to create it.
She was elected to that position. She has a 100% approval rating. Whatever suppositions are made about how life must clearly suck for the normal residents are by definition wrong from the outset, because if they were right, they would vote for somebody else, or at the very least, the approval rating would be lower than Everybody?.
Perfection is BORING.
I don't give a
shit if you think it's boring. Usagi won and is Jesus, Crystal Tokyo is perfect,
get the fuck over it. If you want to write stories where Crystal Tokyo is some kind of mind control cthulhu city, then by all means
do so. Just don't pretend that that shit is
canon, or for that matter even
hinted at in canon. You are bullshitting purely because you do not like it, and what's worse,
you actually seem to be aware of that fact. You just keep doing it anyway, because WAAAH IT'S SOOOOO BORING.
Really? Then here's an idea.
Go read something else.
Why do you think all stories about Utopias have some deep, hidden secret?
Because most writers are unoriginal hacks who copy the shit out of the one guy who had a good idea Long, Long Ago. The one guy who thought it up originally was clever. It's been beaten to death since.
They don't write that shit because people prefer that. They write that shit because they're lazy bastards who don't want to be assed to sit down and think about how a make a perfect society that is actually believable.
And it works. Marvel and DC comics have been running for
years on that philosophy. That doesn't make it fucking
law, and I think less of you for your apparent belief that it does.
You can't write about perfection for any length of time
Except you can. I did. I've proved you wrong
on TFF, so I guess you can take your ideas about what you can't do in a setting with perfection and suck my Omniversal dick.
THAT is probably the reason for all the "CT is corrupt and/or is bad in some way" fics. I remember a quote from a F/SN fanfic. Give me a minute to look it up...
I don't need to hear it. You're already wrong on several counts. It doesn't crop up because it's 'true,' it keeps cropping up because it's easy to copy and it's a cheap way to 'stick it to the man.' People keep writing Evil Crystal Tokyo for the same reason fanfiction writers keep demonizing reasonable authority figures. I don't need to hear an argument based on how some fanfiction of a completely unrelated series chooses to define 'perfection.'
You are wrong, according to canon.
Deal with it.
