I think it's weird to say that politics should be out of scope at a SciFi con when SciFi itself has literally always been political.



Absolutely.

People freaking out about politics in sci-fi do not seem to know much about the history of the genre.

Perhaps a good example is the original Star Trek, which depicts an utopian society where there is no money and beings from all across the universe live and work together in harmony.

It was shot in the sixties.

And nowadays it is controversial to have a gay couple in the latest movie sequel.
