Re: Things in fiction you used to like/tolerate but is now an instant drop

Secret government agencies. No, sorry, not any more. They used to seem cool and mysterious and they got things done. Which is all well and good in fiction when getting things done is generally beneficial and benign, but then...well the last thirty odd years happened. I now sympathize with the beleaguered civil servant trying to reign them in or the guy who the narrative frames as a traitor who wants to blow the whole cover and let people know.

This is the other reason I have a love-hate relationship with Species Imperative, besides how godawful the love interest is. If your organization is threatening to disappear people without trial if they tell the truth about what they saw, they're probably not the good guys.

Yeah.

I mean, I still like stories about secret government agencies, but yeah, definitely the focus has changed.

But also, and separately, I want to say that I fucking love conspiracy thrillers, and I also love stories about beleaguered civil servants trying to reign people in, so basically I agree with your opinions, subscribe to your newsletter, etc
