Lancer Metafiction! Have a few stories from the setting for my campaign settings.

So here's some fictional work by a fictional poet I made up for my setting representing her political ideology, Antihumanism. If you like it just let us know and we can post more. "His Table," and "What is the Purpose," by Guzman-Alessandra Evyln, Sunrise Gate Poet and Red-Dwarf Starchildren representative. His Table, “The hegemonist tells me I am human, too, yet when he says what human is, it is always wrong, always superficial, always changing. He has not known me more than a moment’s word, but declares me without consideration to be like him, that I sit at his table. I am not fooled, however; I know I am not welcome at his Hegemonist’s table, that the inhuman creature he describes is me, that the Hegemonist’s coils squeeze an image of my brief utterances and superficial presentation into a shape meant to represent my history, my truth, and my destiny. I know I do not hold the privilege of his Humanity. So then, if I am not a human, only a being subject to the violence of his coiled perception, then I must be antihuman. It is the only conclusion I can draw. I will take up the blade of my thought, and sever the roots this Humanity spreads from. It is the only way to defeat a Hegemonist. What is the Purpose? Why does the Union care about what a person is? A unionite humanist will tell you that union cares so that it can ensure that person has rights. It feels good to say and imagine, so it feels true. It feels right. It feels good to the unionite human and so that is where their thoughts end, mired by a comforting coil of thickened serpent bodies.

They do not follow the coils to untangle. They do not wonder where their serpents end: if union cares to identify persons so that it can give them rights, then they must also care to identify what non persons are, so they can strip those rights. That is how the blade of language sculpts you. It might seem ridiculous to say, to think, but ask yourself how many times personhood has been a debate. Ask yourself how many homunculi exist. Ask yourself why the only defense against cruelty is being a person, or being a human." Guzman-Alessandra Evyln, Sunrise Gate Poet and Red-Dwarf Starchildren representative.
