Why does that tweet look like a /pol/ shitpost

nobody "invented" sci-fi (or most any genre), it's an arbitrary post-hoc categorisation that capitalism accelerated into a subculture

>>11713296
But Herodotus invented sci fi

Because what else have they invented

>>11713296
Incels and right wing nerds slammed epic style baby! Woohoooo!

Why do you continue to post twitter shitposts made by irrelevant faggots?

>>11713296
Frankenstein was definitely the first major Gothic horror sci-fi work but it wasn't the first work of sci-fi. I don't know why people perpetuate that meme. Somnium was the true beginning of sci-fi.

>who is Cyrano de Bergerac

>>11713321
How?

>>11713393
>He didn't start with the Greeks

>>11713381
A literal meme

Science Fiction is the making and the perpetuation of Catholics alone.

>>11713393
Ancient Greeks had robots, senpai

I could go on, heh, but I'm sure your little scrotum is already huddled up against your body in fear.

Pretty much the only relation between Catholics and science exists in the medium of fiction

>>11713534

Who was funding the research done during the Middle Ages?

Women invented washing dishes too and they're the BEST at it.

>>11713418
I have no idea what you're trying to say.
>>11713534
Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Georges Lemaître, and other great scientists were Catholic. Ease up on the fedora, I think it's cutting off the circulation to your brain.

The archetypical schema for the assessment of the qualities of the superman through the process of analytic sexual selection on the basis of competency.

So, men. Basically. They invented men.

And men are pretty amazing.

The fuck? Is this rotten depravity supposed to be badass to women?

>>11713738

It's only gross when an incel does it

Lucian's True Story invented sci fi.

>>11713862
No it's always gross. A typical mum would be disgusted that her daughter is taking dick over her corpse.

>>11713940
Well she dead so who cares?

>>11713949
Well there's obviously respecting enough of your loved ones sentiments after they die. Fucking over their grave is easy not to do.

>>11713962
And that's why it's badass.

>>11713965
No, it's cringe and edgy.

>>11713978
No it's white and baste.

>>11713525
>Science fiction
As >>11713312 said, it wasn't invented. And let's be honest, it was really H.G. Wells who popularised the genre more than anyone else.
>computers
Look up Charles Babbage.
>medicine
Please. Hippocrates technically, but really Pasteur and other 19th Century British and French doctors.
>childbirth
Fair point, but stumbling across isn't always the same as inventing.
>religion
Citation needed.
>poetry
Vague topic, depending on definition I'd argue it couldn't be invented as such.
>astronomy
So Galileo doesn't count, then? Not to mention ancient Greek astronomers who used their naked eyes. Citation needed but I'm pretty sure the majority of them were blokes.

Your post is obviously bait but something still compels me to try and educate you.

Why were they Romans so fucking gay?

>>11713738
Yes

>>11714052

Nothing gay about Roman moon-men.

>>11714011
>it was really H.G. Wells who popularised the genre more than anyone else.
Don't forget Jules Verne. Although you're right that H. G. Wells is by far the most popular pre-20th century sci-fi author. Not even Verne reached his level of popularity.

>>11714052
They were heavily influenced by the Greeks.

>>11713525
childbirth invented women

>>11714147

Sorry anon but this is speculation straight from the minds of misogynist. And I mean actual misogynists, not meme misogynists.

>>11713380
I thought it was the Bible.

>>11713525
But none of those things would even be possible if the universe hadn't been created by God, who is a man

Nope. That was all me.

When you get as hardcore as this motherfucker, you become asexual
Not the sjw buzzword kind, I mean you can literally split yourself into two like a fucking amoeba

The process behind the Frankenstein's monster creation was alchemical not scientific and is left undescribed. The monster wasn't the first homunculus in fiction. The Faerie Queene contains the first robot.

>>11716089
Not to mention that she was writing it with Polidori and her husband and Byron. What a great drinking group, no wonder she went light speed.

God I hate the romantics. Has there ever been a literary movement as autistic?

>>11713296
"we wuz queens"

and it's not like she actually wrote it anyway

In the first place, it's not science fiction without the ingredient of speculation about possible results of science, that is technology, and what we might do with it, for good or ill. To some degree the genre is a mode of thought experiment, as a means to prophecy. Myth-making & fantasy & a whole lot of wishful thinking often also goes into it, but those aren't the defining ingredients.

Offhand I can't remember how Cyrano De Bergerac's moon landing story goes, or for that matter how literal anyone in the Renaissance was in their "how to" treatments of gadgetry, real, imagined, or postulated. The crucial question is, who has priority in the literary device of mechanical devices working what resembles magic, but isn't.

>bitches don't know about the Lucian

>>11719506
they're too busy rejecting slave morality to listen to some incel on 4chan

>>11713525
Women invented none of those things. Computers were invented by men, and the knowledge required to bring them into existence was also the product of male intellect. (Btw Lovelace was not the first computer programmer. It was Babbage who wrote those programs, and that is an established fact.) Medicine was also invented by men.

Childbirth isn't an invention anymore than urinating is. But sure women can have that one.

Ditto with religion, poetry and astronomy. These were invented by men, and men have been the principle force in their development over time.


Also science-fiction isn't an invention anymore than "postmodernism" or "neo-Dada" is. It is simply a label used to classify fiction with similar content or form, and it is usually applied later by academics. (Btw, most of these labels are vague and practically useless, which is a real danger since people will rage against something like "postmodernism," but they are raging against some nebulous fantasy of their own imagination. The philosophers and artists that have been identified by academic classifiers as being of that type, would most likely dispute the label. People should be read on their own terms, not as members of some disputed and vague classification.)

>>11713312
>capitalism accelerated into a subculture
lol you are a retard. There was a time when sci-fi, horror and fantasy were all mixed together and there was really no separation of the three until leftshit writers came along and decided each genre needed to be ripped apart from each other.

>>11713296

When people say that Mary Shelley "invented" science fiction and horror, they don't mean it literally. They mean it the same way people say Tolkien "invented" fantasy.

"Invented" is just shorthand for "the earliest example of the genre that was extremely popular, high quality, and influential to the development of the genre afterwards." Voltaire's Micromegas is a good short story, but its impact on modern science fiction is minimal compared to Frankenstein.

It was women who found the Jesus' resurrection

What is existential horror fantasy? Pic self claims it but I still don't get it. Pic also claims 'John Dies at the End" is existential horror fantasy too.

What's the difference between regular Frankenstein and the 1818 texts?

>>11713296
Because Herodotus scholars refuse to believe Lucian wrote the Syria goddess. I wouldn't get involved; Herodotus scholars are more mad than women, which is why he's compared to Aristophanes. Do you even the Greeks?
