Is it the existential dread?

Nah. I think it's more the nihilistic "human nature" bullshit that inevitably permeates the genre that annoys me. It also hinges on the presumption that current society is the only thing stopping people from acting like "savages".

Give me real "Without god, what stops you from doing insert horrible thing no reasonable human would ordinarily do?" vibes.
