Summing it up:
I consider the Literary Genre of #solarpunk to be a catalyst bringing people into the Movement and helping them find each other.
The visual language can be a tool strengthening the Genre and expanding its reach, but the Aesthetics on its own is counter-productive as it's too easy to co-opt and use against the values of the movement.
The Movement is what I consider the most worthwhile, as both the genre and the aesthetics don't stand for anything without it.
