I'd personally like to see more gender non-conforming roles in societies.

In a society with magic or space tech, why does there need to be a coded gender for certain jobs?

This goes for 'character classes' too. I'd love to see more healer archetypes that are cis male, or wizard types that are black or brown without relying on stereotypes.

I'd also like to see more of that in occupations too. Why not have a union of earth magic construction workers who happen to be mostly women in one city?

What about the rest of you? What cool things would you live to see in sci-fi/fantasy?

    WORKING 👏 CLASS 👏 SCIFI

    i know theres already several examples of this, but god why dont we have more movies about the clinically depressed guy who makes 8 credits an hour in the giant crane-operating room of the giant (space)shipbuilding hangar? We need a film/series/game that starts out following the epic morally grey star hustler spacefaring antihero or whatever but suddenly pans away to Glup Shitto, 33, whos mixing up some space margaritaville bullshit to ease the protag's monologue at Club Gorbus, then follows him home from work and through a pressured shift at his Mos Eisley ass job the next day!!! SHOW ME THE BOUNCERS WHO BREAK UP THOSE DEADLY BOUNTY HUNTER BARFIGHTS GODDAMMIT!!!! GIVE US CYBERPUNK TYPE JOB NARRATIVES THAT ARENT FUCKING COPS AND DETECTIVES (sorrydiscoelysium)!!!! GIVE US A PROTAGONIST WHOS HOMELESS IN ONE OF THOSE NIGHTMARE MEGACITIES!!! WE NEED SPACE 👏 FIRST 👏 RESPONDERS
