I miss low fantasy, everything now is grimdark or just super gay. I just want a medieval setting with some basic magic elements, no grand cosmology and lovecraftian BS or eastern philosophy. Knights and wizards, the fuckin basics

Why did Tolkien mindrape fantasy as a genre so hard. It's impossible to escape the basic structure of the races he uses and how they function, look, and interact.

Nah it's not his fault he was good at it. It's the jews' fault for constantly falling back on his work and corrupting it for a cheap profit.

I don't really blame him, I'm more wondering why so many after him were so comfortable saying "fuck it, I'll just tweak Tolkiens shit a little, then put all the effort into character and story." Isn't the fun of fantasy that you can completely make it all up from scratch?
