Do you ever find yourself thinking that we harp on our social messages a bit much in fiction?

Asked by Nullo (22009points) May 3rd, 2010

For instance, I have never played a BioWare game that didn’t focus on race; most recent works of science fiction that I’ve read has similar themes. Amateur fiction often tries to force a “girls can do ____ too!” point. And now one of my webcomics goes and tries to shoehorn in a message about how nice it would be if we could all see how to peacefully coexist.

Are the writers just lazy? Overly romantic? Brainwashed? What?
