Some of it
When it is done well, yes
I remember how Gurge RR Mertins made Stannis as an example of why Medieval values were terrible, and why modern values based on social-contract theory were superior, but then everyone ended up loving Stannis and he got really butthurt about it.
John C Wright's young adult series is somewhat about this directly.... the elfs that secretly pull strings from the shadows have stolen meaning and hope from the world
It's not even with fantasy
Lol I love when that happens... Alan Moore was butthurt that people loved Rorschach
Oh yeahhhh.
Owlman was apparently the one that everyone was supposed to like, ahahahah
Soy owl
Like how Judge Dredd was made by a bunch of British degenerates to satirise "OY FASCISM BRUV" but then everybody ended up unironically loving Judge Dredd.
Btw Wright's ya series I mentioned is real good.... and has one segment I love bc it reminds me of all y'all crazy Catholics
I'll check it out
The hero is facing some monsters, including an evil wolf
The wolf hears he is a Christian, and laughs, and starts blaspheming
"When the disciples stole the body from the tomb, they dumped it unceremoniously in a field! None have tasted the flesh and blood of Christ but wolf and wolf alone!"
And the hero is gravely offended... but also overjoyed.
He isn't only slaying a monster. He also gets to slay a heretic.
You should go deeper than just fantasy genre. Escapism in general is popular right now.
Wow.
That's on an even higher level than Redwall.
Wasn't the guy that made Starship Troopers mad that everybody actually loved the movie unironically without understanding any of the "Lel satire mate"?
Lol
That is the thing with lefties
When they write too well... they put too much truth in...... and then people like it for the "wrong" reasons
I unironically hate the guy that made Starship Troopers. It was based on a book that held militaristic values unironically, and the guy that directed the movie, no-joke, read a single chapter of the book, said "Lol this is fascism wtf", and then made the movie for the express purpose of shitting on the book it was based on.
Lolllll
The guy who wrote the book was a left himself, but not as crazy
Oh, and the author of the original book was dead by that point, so he literally made that movie for the express purpose of pissing all over the work of a dead man.
The guy who wrote the book was a veteran of WW2 who held to the ideology of a soldiers' honor, and comradery in war, and stuff like that.
I"m not sure about his other political beliefs, but he would definitely not be considered Left today
@CPEGaebler Oh yeah, speaking of that, if you want to see a certifiable salt mine, just look at the reviews for the modern Death Wish reboot.
Leftists were expecting a satire of the film's original tone, and themes, but they just restated them perfectly, so it made all of them really mad
Look at the critic reviews. It's amazing
@Daniil I did consider it and reach out to you about it once, a while ago. Perhaps it is time to consider it again.
Could be difficult to bring a few people on board though.
Well, either way, it isnt me you'll have to reach out to, but we can talk about it via pm. Drop me one if you're ready
What do you mean?
The cuck factor?
A good chunk of my compatriots work in the university, education, research, are.
