Yes. I love classic fantasy and I am really upset that it got overtaken completely by progressive fantasy.

Here is the thing: I actually wouldn't care if individuals wanted to run their own campaigns with sparklefoxes, trasngendered characters, and pansexual gay polyamorous group sex. That is their own business. The problems are:
1. The main source of fantasy: D&D has completely shifted to a pro-progressive attitude and has sanded off every bit of edge and traditional/conservative (I don't mean D vs R, you retards) fantasy. It is now entirely just based around appeasing women and the tumblr/Critical Role crowd. This goes doubly for PF2e which is somehow even gayer.
2. Young men have basically completely abandoned reading fiction and fantasy. Young men used to make up the majority of readers of fantasy/fiction novels. Now young men are only like 15-25% of fiction readers. Almost all fiction is aimed at women. This is 100% true by the way, and tons of studies have tried to understand the "male reading crisis" because men have simply stopped reading books, and when they do read it is almost entirely non-fiction.
3. Games have done the same and still almost all care about just going with progressive fantasy. They understand the tropes and try to subvert all of them. Ironically, at this point an actual classic fantasy adventure would be subversive.

Overall, I am just sad. I think there is more than enough room in this genre to have things for everyone. People can have their progressive fantasy, but traditional fantasy is not even allowed. It has an audience. It would do well. It is just killed in the cradle by publishers, authors, and developers with an agenda.

I love fantasy and I am tired of these faggots trying to subvert it or add a modern twist. Swords & Sorcery & Dragons are cool, timeless, and universally appealing.

I like classic, pulpy High Fantasy and I am tired of developers and writers who think they're too fucking good for it. Stop trying to subvert every expectation.
