Look, chucklefuck, I agree that you have to test claims in the real fucking world. Science fiction doesn't deal in REALITY and doesn't fucking claim to! How can you keep missing that point, over and over, like a willfully ignorant faither?
Sure, some fucktard can come along and start a Jedi Order religion (real, no shit). They can also come along and start claiming they are actually werewolves or vampires (also real, no shit). Some people are just fucking stupid.
Again, I'm going to ask, what would you have us do about it?

I'm left wondering which sci-fi made any claim about reality at all.
In bold black letters you said "Science fiction doesn't deal in reality"
I AGREE, so fight with yourself.
Or accept that mere inspiration isn't enough and stop stupidly thinking Si Fi is the only place people get ideas from.
