I mean, stories that are meant to emulate the old romances would follow nobles simply because that’s the medium. But I definitely agree that more stories set current day need working class (or just not owning class) protagonists. I think revolutionary stories in the style of epics would be amazing, but unfortunately I have met with difficulty writing such a thing.

This made my heart drop. However marginalized or trod upon I may be, I am still part of the rich. I don’t make my living just by owning things, so I got that going for me; but my whole lifestyle sits on the backs of those folks. I knew it was bad, but this picture was just a gut-punch. If these people need to march on us to be liberated, so may it be.
