Not the OP, but I think you just identified one of the reasons why traditional fantasy isn't as popular as it used to be. People just think oh, you mean that sexist, racist crap that the Puppies whined about. I can't speak for the OP but for myself... no. That Sad/Rabid Puppy BS was embarrassing and awful, fuck those guys. There's got to be a way to get that classic feel without the problematic trappings.


... but then I hated Wheel of Time. :-/

Very much fuck those guys. Like, I just want to read about someone going on a quest with some elves. I don't give a shit about how it factors into someone's culture war and how kids these days aren't reading Heinlein or how John Scalzi's feminist guitars are robbing them of they "rightful" Hugo awards. I don't know what planet those assholes are on, it certainly isn't planet sanity.

IMO, it's pretty clear they've got other baggage that's coming out in the form of, "But fantasy isn't fuuuuuuun anymore!!" Those assholes actually miss the sexism, homophobia and lack of diversity, and they think that's the sign of Good Fantasy that the kids these days just aren't appreciating because they're drowning in wokeness or whatever.

I think "traditional" is throwing me off because there's plenty of quest fantasy out there, but there are more non-traditional heroes, etc. I think there are some annoying trends in titling, and making everything YA or NA with books that would have just been adult 30 years ago, but that's not a lack of quest fantasy or even chosen one fantasy, just more non-socially conventional fantasy with traditional tropes.
