in favor of techlock or against it 

Techlock is ok but the pro-techlock people take the whole “m-muh medeival” aesthetic too literally. It makes my head spin how iffy our tech situation is. If people can make fun technological advancements and generate dynamic RP, then let them, so long as nobody’s making spaceship or something

anytime someone makes a suggestion about lifting the techlock under specific circumstances you get people touting the old phrase, "i dont want planes trains and automobiles in my medieval fantasy universe!!" basically saying our only options are no advancement past their idea of medieval technology or instant advancement to modern technology, even though the current technological level is already arbitrary considering we have electricity from redstone but apparently dwarves cant have ironclad steamships (even though dwarves have had steamships for years now)
