i know that’s the concept, but i think it’s an apt name for the genre known as “magical realism”. except smug liberals would hate to admit to themselves that their ideology has a choke point

I’m thinking the OP is getting the genre mixed up

Maybe they meant like gritty fantasy or something lol

Seems like they’re ranting about George RR Martin more than Gabo
