Trollish, in the old-internet sense: "here's a topic I bet will stir up interesting activity, but I don't actually give a damn about what people think about it."
There's some fairly solid privileged bits in the comments ("Isn't F/SF a white person's genre and anyone else who uses it is practicing cultural appropriation?"), and there's a very... middle-class white male skew to the whole conversation.
Which I don't find bad, exactly, but people who aren't up for it should get a warning.
