Fantasy and science fiction being cramped in the same section, which is already so small :(

Redditors think they’re super smart for saying Star Wars is fantasy.

Oh boy don’t tell me. They love being contradictarian, pedantic, and having actually super common (sometimes right, sometime dumb) 'hot takes'. That makes them feel smart and cultured.

You can still hear them sniffing their own farts while typing for the billionth time that Star Wars is a fantasy story with sci-fi aesthetic, or that it was inspired by Asian cultures.
