>>76980084>Society oppresses artistic minds!>Join and fight from the underground!Jesus fuck Mike, you want to make it interesting, give it a realistic treatment: being artistic and talented doesn't mean you won't gain power. Why did you make all talents the underdogs? He'll equate all throughout "genius = good people", and then, when the big reveal is that some major enemy is a Genius user, they'll make him look worse only because he used his genius for wrongdoing.
Fuck, I hope I'm wrong, or this is going to endorse what I call the "underdog snowflake" ideology: feeling that despite your unique and beautiful means of expression, most people don't understand you and fear you, which is to blame for your lack of success in life. This is a paradoxically mainstream ideology among humanities studients (not all, thanks god)

It took me three times reading the last sentence to understand that the part about "a dumb patriarchal marketplace" was NOT a description of the dystopian fantassy world.
