I could have, but that wouldn't be true. I like fantasy just fine, I just prefer that it is grounded in reality and what's actually possible/probable.
That's not fantasy? That's pretty much the exact opposite. From Oxford's English dictionary:
"the faculty or activity of imagining things, especially things that are impossible or improbable."
E: Are you perhaps thinking science fiction?
You're talking specifically about a name used to classify a particular genre of stories. The word "fantasy" applies to more than just that.
Whatever. Seems I unintentionally touched some nerves here (and, unfortunately, I had to work - so I was unable to keep this from going off the deep end), so I'm just gonna walk away before I somehow wind up antagonizing people (and myself) further.
Let the bludgeoning continue...
I tried to do a little humour at your expense, I actually totally get what you mean even if I feel different.
sorry 😔
