But we do live in countries that have people in them. If a fantasy story is attempting to say something about the real, actual world, then I don’t think it’s a “mistake” for later writers to say “adding a few more real-world elements makes the message ring false.” That kind of a debate is healthy for the growth of the art.

I'm not at all opposed (and I don't think MJH would be opposed) to having material, specific reality in fantasy, at all. I mean, realism is an artistic style that exists. It's a stylistic choice. But choosing to put more realism in - that's not the same as trying to take a poetic text, or an artistic text, and reduce it to just its material elements, and judge it just by its realism or the plausibility of its fictional world, and to assume that every work of fiction has to be read in that way.

And I think the idea that, to say something about the real actual world, you have to be realistic - I don't agree with that in the slightest. Things relate to us as people in the real actual world, even if they're utterly fictional, because we're thinking, feeling creatures with imagination.

I think that may have read as more confrontational than I intended.
