I'm amazed how in fantasy settings with houndreds of humanized species, all being like horse, oxes, cows, pigs, parrots and what not... but acts like humans and have similar social status as humans.. still, meat is being pushed as the core diet in these worlds. It's so importantt to push this narrative that not even fantasy worlds are safe, even though it just gets weird (and prob really dark) with how that world otherwise works.

Just like Capitalism Realism, authors can't even imagine societies with other economic system than capitalism.

I know they are exceptions of that. If you like to mention your favorite one please do it.

Yea, so much for fantasy and imagionation right. I think another reason why some ideas or concept are transferred as is, is even considering alternative methods means acknowledging that there are alternatives, This could be a reminder of that nothing is perfect, there's always room for change and improvement, and we need change and adjustement to function - even though most of us aren't cognitively set and ready for it, instead settle in current state and habits.

Not sure what you're asking, favorite show that isn't regurgitating the same ideas, or?
