Chapter 663 reaction (2)
No matter what you do—whether it's bad, good, or somewhere in between—once it's on the internet, you'll always receive both positive and negative reactions. There's always someone who either reads too deeply into the words or not deeply enough.
Some people can read or listen but struggle to comprehend the message as the writer or speaker intended. The moment they hear something, it passes through their personal filters before the brain starts to process what was being said or written.
As a result, people often hear what they want to hear rather than what was actually communicated. This was precisely the case with the emperor’s speech; he was not exempt from such misinterpretations.
And the majority of these people were among the most prolific users of social media, eager to express their opinions. Consequently, they voiced their feelings and reactions moments after the emperor finished his speech and it resulted in quite a mess.
There were those who believed that the emperor was using the announcement to hide something.
@truth_beleiver243r67: [Why do I suspect that the emperor is using this announcement to deflect responsibility for the deaths of the explorers? It seems like he’s initially downplaying the situation by mentioning only a few deaths, with the intention of later revealing that the rest were killed by the new species when they just exploded en route there.]
@Missinformationresponded52134: [@truth_beleiver243r67 Do you think you are making sense? This is like causing 9/11 to avoid a school exam. Also, why acknowledge it now when he could delay it as long as he needed?]
Do you think those ultranationalistic individuals who were put in stasis will come back and appreciate the improvements? No, they will awaken with their old grievances intact, having missed the progress made. Their return could disrupt the stability we've worked so hard to achieve. Do we really want to risk that upheaval now, just as things have begun to settle?]
Then there were those who were solely focusing on the technology acknowledged in the announcement and took to express how it should be used by the empire.
@warmonger: [Why didn’t they announce that they had the technology when they discovered it and kept it to themselves? Shouldn’t they share this technology for the betterment of humanity? #Selfishempire #releasethetechnology]
@bıfaeleıfno: [@warmonger Are you dumb?]
@warmonger: [@bıfaeleıfno What do you mean? You don’t want the tech to be shared for the betterment of humanity?]
@bıfaeleıfno: [@warmonger What are you going to use it for? Isn’t the current technology enough for you to go anywhere in the solar system in less than a week? For the betterment of humanity? Isn’t the empire already doing that by sending out exploration fleets? Also, what makes you think the empire discovered this technology and not one of his private companies, hence them privately owning that technology and were just sharing it with the empire?
That tech currently can only be put to use by the empire alone, and they are amidst doing that. and if you say making travel short within the solar system, you seem to have forgotten that there is a speed limit within the solar system, and we are currently capable of going faster than that but they are limiting it for safety.
Think before speaking foolishly, but them acknowledging it is enough, as that means it is possible for the tech to be discovered, so raise your ass and go to research city to build it yourself and stop complaining. ]
Such discussions were among the many that were taking place, with some jocking some mourning, some just enjoying the discoveries, some denying them, and some just enjoying the moment, but that didn't mean that they weren't waiting for the release of evidence that was going to take place a month.
