Exactly. I may be new around here, but if I remember correctly, and reading the rules of Fenspace, dystopian ideas are strongly discouraged.
Having the bible belt taking over the US and have it go down the drain would be bashing from my point of view. Having been the 'Voice of Reason' in the BattleTech RR over at SpaceBattles, I have seen what stuff like that can lead to. Mainly the end of the story because everyone will either wank one side or the other. Bashing is not much better there.
As far as I can tell, Fenspace has gone on for quite a time without these problems, and retained its original premise. Do we really want to go dystopian because there is bad blood with current Real Life idiots?
Not really.
want Fenspace to keep its mostly positive outlook on life and relations with others. And for me some tensions between several parties are part of being realistic. The US being taken over by the Bible Belt and going 3rd world by loosing its current status is not all that realistic for me. Because the nice people with common sense tend to outnumber the very vocal idiots in the end.
EDIT:
Okay, sure I may have used a little bit of that for my part, but seeing that its established already, there should be little in the way of problems.
