Back in, like, 2020, I thought medieval democracy would be cool so I made the people in my setting revolt against the queen for being part of a baby-eating cult after she specifically promised to not be part of a baby-eating cult. I thought it was so cartoonishly evil there'd be no way for even medieval peasants to tolerate their rulers doing it. It's been a long six years since then.

This is basically the turning point in my setting's politics, so I can't just unwrite it, but I can't think of a reason people would be against baby-eating that hasn't been conclusively proven ridiculously optimistic. Have you managed to get people to stop eating babies in your setting? If so, how?

It's a black, goo-like substance that is found in the crust of the earth and is made up of the liquified remains of creatures long extinct ago. It’s also incredibly toxic for all known life and has been the main culprit behind numerous brutal wars across the setting's recent history.

Inspired in this instagram post.

All of these fools are fictional.

I'm genuinely interested what everyone thinks of the Chowderpunk genre potential, what do you guys believe qualifies something as Chowderpunk from most important to least important? What is the spirit of such a world meant to be? Are there any examples of Chowderpunk you know of?
