Every single fantasy author who seethes about Tolkien writes "fantasies" about things that aren't worth fantasizing about. Nobody wants to fantasize about being miserable and shitting yourself to death. It's unfortunate because Tolkien's popularity really did kill an earlier strain of fantasy with genuine merit ‐ the short works of Dunsany and Smith captured the raw stuff of dreams in a truly astonishing way - but none of these psuedo-edgy socialist retards from the 70s onwards have any interest in recapturing that.
