    Am I the only one bothered by the half of an acronym? Like either call it sci-fa or science-fantasy…

    Why even shorten the science at that point?

      I previously wasn’t bothered by it, but you’re totally right. I can’t unsee it now. It’s wrong and I’m now bothered by it.

      I’m not too particularly bothered by that, I’m more bothered by the fantasy part of it. It’s not really like story fantasy trope, but a post-apocalyptic sci-fi stuff being fantastical is kind of a given, isn’t it?
