Re: Nerd Elitism

What are the things you consider the interesting parts of the genre?

Re: Nerd Elitism

[(Anonymous)]

It's less even a specific set of authors - I might have been a little wonky with my wording there - and more, like, just being aware of things beyond the lineage of Robert Jordan, GRRM, Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, Jim Butcher, etc. There's a whole world of things beyond that, and I'm not trying to trap anyone in a specific subset of those. It's more an awareness that those things exist. Like, I'm not saying that you have to like Gene Wolfe, or that you have to love Lois McMaster Bujold, or you have to be a fan of Charles De Lint, but it's really frustrating to talk to people who don't have some degree of awareness about people like that. And those aren't even especially obscure authors - they're really well known! It just feels like a lot of people don't have that basic awareness.

Which even then, it's fine, it's just frustrating because I'm not really interested in talking about fantasy in those terms, but it feels like a huge portion of people who identify as interested in the genre only identify with it on that level, so any conversation about fantasy tends to get caught up on that level.
