Holy sucking shit. In DS9 they go into detail how Ferengi are so fucking horrifically sexist against their women that they lease their daughters out to have babies for other males. It's supposed to be this insane thing to show you how fucking crazy their hyper capitalist society is.... And we just fucking dove right in to that shit.
We need to stop making dystopian fiction because it just is giving the capitalists ideas. I just watched that German SF movie about people selling years of their life to make ends meet (and having years forcibly taken from them to pay off debts) and just thought about how much western nations would be falling over themselves to make it a reality if the technology allowed for it.
