going into the history and theoretics of each genre, they are drastically different in terms of the stakes they set up and the logic they work by.

Absolutely. Historically, this is true. However, I'm not sure it's true by current genre standards... in the same way as current genre standards also don't comply with past standards for social commentary re: race/gender issues.

See what I'm saying?

If that was your point, I think your first reply was an extremely obtuse way of making it, but I do see now what you were getting at.

I still disagree, in the sense that I don't think it's at all true that current genre standards actually have dissolved the historical-theoretical-aesthetic differences between science fiction and fantasy. But I strongly doubt we're going to make any headway at all on that one.

Herpy is a master of saying some inchoate bullshit and it takes about 4-5 posts to tease what he really means out of it.
