Kinta Facts 9: Culture

Nearing the end of this series now. Boy is it hard to try to get the text to fit exactly in those boxes. Yes, I know the mark on the image says April but I was too lazy to change it and it really only did the coloring today.

Anyway, here's some stuff about culture. Pretty much mirrors the stuff from the previous two parts. But at least now know you know why they all live in tiny, cluttered apartments.

Transcript:
While kinta culture is heterogeneous, our unique size and small population have kept our group identity strong even today.

Most kintas value living a compact life due to the disproportionate physical, engineering, and monetary constraints that limit the size of vehicles, infrastructure, and buildings. It seems fitting yet ironic that the giants of the world live small, but this isn't minimalism - we aren't shy to contribute to consumerism, as long as it all fits.

Our ancestors believed they were collectively the physical and spiritual guardians of a delicate natural environment, but increasing populations soon shifted our focus to optimization and individualism. While our somewhat loose social structures endured within our own species, it soon became normal to be opportunistic towards others.

Today, renewed interest in artistic expression and ethics in some circles has been increasing positivity towards non-kintas as we are starting to combine rediscovered classical values with global ones. However, modern globalization and miniaturization now fragment us as we are increasingly pressured into roles which only value us for our size.
