Ok hot take but there’s a lot of like…. conflict and animosity between hard fantasy (“magic has rules”) and soft fantasy (“fuck rules!”) authors and readers but uh…..
For some reason, I several times have seen soft fantasy types be like, “this is the ONLY valid way to write fantasy, fantasy has been RUINED by hard fantasy ppl”
And I have not seen the opposite? Which doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist but like. What is going on here.
Am I just looking in the wrong places? Is that what masculine coded reddit is yelling about while feminine coded tumblr and to a lesser extent twitter is like ONLY SOFT FANTASY CAN EVER BE GOOD ??????
