>>33365618>>33365631I agree about the importance of culture. I find it is affected by the modes in which the collective and the individual think, but nevertheless it is important to helping establish differences in a very acceptable and organic shorthand.
Cultural differences are what would flavor a region after all, since so much of a region's people, politics and society are influenced by it. That said, given the nature of what I've been writing, culture only shows up now and again - namely when it would make sense to tie it in. And usually that tie in is in the form of politics or attitudes.
I didn't expect my work to end up so political but then again I should have given the subjects I've chosen.>>33365697What sorts of things do you want to get out of your writing or interpretation of the world then anon? I'm curious. There are consequences to making pokemon basically like humans albeit with cultural differences via society, but does this mean you don't believe that they think fundamentally different from humans, or what?
