Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

(*LGBTQ+ Solidarity huggles*)

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

@ Goji : Nah, odds are they will wonder why we still have so many.

Assuming they developed on an earth like ecosystem, which they would have had to to care about animals.....

They would be apex preadetors, since only preadetors have the luxury of being able to devote as much energy as we do to thought.....

Which might explain why they would care about earth in the first place. "Look at all these new meals to try"

[up]X5 Aliens willing to glass an entire planet are unlikely to care about the fair treatment of animals.

[up]X3 I'd say the Mongolians win that award, respecting religious freedom and diversity in an empire that powerful, quite a thing.

Oh and on the temperature comments, Rochester sounds like it's normally like proper Rochester, which I was in earlier today. tongue Though honestly it's not that bad here.

[up][up] That or they just never did the needlessly cruel stuff to the other species on their planet like we did to our; we've already killed off more species than a Mt. Everest-sized meteorite slamming into the planet or a cataclysmic climate change.

Silasw - buuuut then again, given how the Golden Horde and the other hordes basically collapsed because they couldn't keep it going, while the Ottoman Empire lasted for so long and managed to even have a proto version of multiculturalism in their more liberal periods, we can thank them for lots of ideas that we get now but few are willing to admit.

I find it difficult to imagine a spacefaring species wouldn't have some degree of tact upon first contact, or at least a degree of morality. Xenophobia would sort of inhibit efforts to reach the spacefaring stage of life in the first place.

If they're going to be imperialistic it's likely to be out of valuing resources and their comfort over our comfort, rather than hatred or spite. You know, like earth empires.

Goji, they would either be apex preadetors who did the same thing in search of food.

Or genocidal maniacs who extincted every other species on there planet.

Because a sapiant species WILL without exception be the dominant one, and for that to happen to prey it needs to remove every thing above it....

[up] And in that case imperalists can be reasoned with and likley won't just glass.

Just ask the Romans, incorporation works better then genocide.

And just ask any biologist the reprucussions for removing a top level preadetor, then apply that to all of them.

Like it or not violent competition is what causes the development of a species and culture, and without it they will stagnate some where around the development of agriculture.

Immie, you're assuming that an alien race is going to act in any way like well, us. You can't just assume that they'd act like that, because that leads to the fallacy that all alien like would be like us, no exceptions. It's just not logical to think that of a possible alien race; doesn't help most media just make alien races "human-like, but looking vastly different".

No, I am making the assumption that they follow darwinian evolution, which I agree is a stupid assumption, but the thing is.... if they don't they won't give a care about what we do any way just as how we would likley not concern ourself with how sapient rocks treat eachother.

It's just that whole thing implies that, the standard of how life works on this planet is the absolute standard for every other form of sentient life that could possibly exist in the universe; that is placing too much importance on a planet that could possibly be like one of trillions in the 45 billion lightyear span of the universe.

[up] In fairness your making weirder assumptions, why would a species angry over us killing other species as part of our evolution then promptly "glass the planet" and kill even more species? Why would a species with the compassion to care deeply about lost species be willing to commit mass genocide against innocents?

You seem to be thinking that aliens are going to inherently have the troll logic of the nuttiest Eco-terrorists.

I'll never be able to visit Austin if I keep reading these bulleted lists why I shouldn't live there.

I don't know whether it's that they're looking out for me or they just don't want me there.

I'm now imagining an Avatar: The Last Airbender alt-fic wherein the Fire Nation is an alien race, and the other three nations are planets in the same solar system.
