>>25845610
Guns and bombs are the manliest weapons in all existence. Don't get me wrong, there will always be a place for swords axes and the like, but guns just ooze raw masculinity. As for women being able to use them, remember most women are weak and stupid and would be too terrified to ever use a gun of any kind. Truly strong and intelligent women use guns, meaning they are a litmus test. If you meet a woman and want to date her, and she hates guns, RUN.

Those are acceptable. But note, they lack the classic elements that make fantasy faggot shit, such as elves and dwarves. Also settings like Dune and Star wars use science to try and explain the unusual powers some beings may have. Fantasy is literally "magic did it, aint gotta explain shit".

Why are you assuming a fantasy world has to be fairies and sunshine and magic nonsense?
Lots of fantasy worlds have magic and supernatural stuff but also a very high level of understanding of these forces, like technology.
Isn't there a little "magic" in stuff like creating/harnessing electricity?
We have dwarves in the real world too though they aren't nearly as muscular as in stories, real life dwarves are more like gnomes desu. and we have androgenous people too.
>>

>Lots of fantasy worlds have magic and supernatural stuff but also a very high level of understanding of these forces, like technology.

Sounds like a typical jrpg, which is the gayest of all fantasy settings. Also real life dwarves are nothing like fantasy dwarves and androgynous people are gay as shit and weak just like elves.

You seem to know fantasy. Do you know of any fiction that doesn't rely on the standard tropes of fantasy such as elves, dwarves, demons and other shit like that?

Wake up anon. You're on /r9k/, in the middle ages you'd have been a talentless starving peasant tied to a tree by gay bandits who wanted a stationary rapetoy to relax in between raids. Then they'd forget about you and a bear would horribly kill you before the winter came.

Maybe fags like you should remember that the only reason why the olden times seem glorious is because everything that wasn't kingly was raped, killed, destroyed and built over. Of course all that is still standing or that's been immortalized in painting looks great.

Most stuff I've read that doesn't fall into those typical tropes is considered sci-fi. Though a lot of it can be very borderline with other races that use advanced technology that appears like "magic" and such. I just wanted to trigger OP a little more. There can be a very fine line between fantasy and sci fi.

The "magic" they use is based on science though. It's the power of congealed mental and emotional energy accumulated from countless numbers of beings, stewing into a massive alternate dimension called the Warp that people born genetically advanced enough can exert their will and draw from the power of the warp. Magic is simply bullshit with no rhyme or reason to it. There's rhyme and reason behind the power of the mind and emotional energies, as has been proven in scientific studies. The U.S. and Russian government has been studying psionics for years, so have the Nazis.

You can't use magic. You can however get a gun, and learn to use it. Learn to use cover, tatical evasion and aiming, and even quickscope firing for sniper rifles. Do some pushups and shit each day, you'll get strong in no time, and while you won't be a super soldier, you'll be pretty badass. And you can wear camo, body armor, or make your own body armor.

Or fiddle with your bows and arrows or swords and shields and wear tights like a sissy, your choice.

Chainmail brov, I want to see the white of their eyes as I slash them down, see the face of the person who killed me. Have a chance to dodge a strike instead of getting vaporized by bolter fire.

Magic works the exact same in WH fantasy, the only difference is that people don't understand the mechanics behind it.

For a long time lightning was considered magic from the gods, then we learned how it works. So what makes magic magical or not, aside from mortal's understanding of it.

40k is also considered science fantasy, GW has said as much.

Well, that's great and all... But who the fuck cares what someone likes? It literally does not matter what you like, what they like, all of it is entirely subjective...

You're right, I'm pretty overtly hostile to people irl

You could say I'm making up for something with that (my dick is 7 inches btw), but at least I'm not watching/reading homoerotic shit about insanely ripped muscular space marines and their "comradery"

Even if that would be true, so what?

A weak timid nerd who looks up to hypermasculinity and thinks that he should be more masculine is far superior to a weak timid nerd who is "ironically" emasculate and an "ironic" pajama boy, or talks unironically about "toxic masculinity".

In every culture there were people (arguably the majority) who didn't reach the ideal. They were "sinners" instead of being good Christians, they were timid instead of being brave, they were lazy instead of being assiduous workers.

But at least they had a great ideal to reach.
Today we make fun of these ideals and are then surpised when so many men are cucks and so many women are sluts. We make fun of "honor" and are then surprised to find traitors amongst us.

Cynicism, don't give a fuck, and hipster irony of today is much, much worse than the "hypocrisy" of people who have an ideal but actually don't quite reach it.

Both are shit, they have to be designated as distinct from actual literature because the prose inevitably reads like donkey dick. Get fucked.

>Marine

You really didn't think about that term very hard did you OP? A pilot in the air force is going to encounter more water in the atmosphere than a "space marine" in space.

>>25849114
noun
1.
a member of a body of troops trained to serve on land or at sea
With the addition of space to the term I think this would be a body of troops trained to serve in space. Sorry m80

Here sunbro. The Souls games are easily the best dark fantasy games out there. My sci fi favorite has to be Mass Effect
>>
>>25849177
Ok, seriously. Land and Sea, fine.
Now you just wanna throw space in there because your vocabulary isn't good enough to think up another cool word for a modern or futuristic soldier. The future looks bleak.

There is no real difference other than fantasy tends to be medieval and sci-fi tends to be futuristic. Give fantasy some technobabble and you have sci-fi.

Science Fiction isn't always about that anon, especially when the real future we are going towards looks more like a John Brunner or Peter Watts book

You do know there's tons of sci fi out there with the term "space marine" right? You have to be trolling, but just in case you're actually retarded here are some examples.
Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein
Wolves of Fenris - Chris Wraight
Codex: Space marines - Pete Haines
I didn't coin the term, I'm saying that it makes sense given the fact we as a species have a term among others for military units and that term is Marine.
Would you prefer Cosmo-trooper?
How about Gravinauts?
Honestly, we could come up with a word for it space marine is just the common name for what we're talking about. Most people would know exactly what the term "space marine" means.

Polluted shithole where people have to wear breathmasks to go outside, the president is a former movie star that goes to Hollywood premiers and always has some snarky comment to those lousy reds that care about shit like ecology, HUGE divide between rich and poor, and places that aren't cities being basically in a constant tempo of urban warfare as gangs of disaffected working class people put out by automation shoot each other for the last remaining shit that's useful in the midwest


I highly recommend you read "The sheep look up". It's essential reading
>>
>>25849581
>Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein
They were not called space marines, it was Mobile Infantry.
Gravinauts is fairly decent.

>Most people would know exactly what the term "space marine" means.

Seconded, definitely.

Also, anything by J. G. Ballard; more stories of the future that "rub the human face in its own vomit and force it to look in the mirror."

You dont know shit about the past except what libshit professors told you.

Although no hot showers would suck ass tho

I'm into fantasy games more so than science fiction, although I do like science fiction sometimes. I'm also confident in my masculinity and sexuality so this doesn't really make me make. It do want to clarify though, you seem to think otherwise in the sense that when you play a game you inevitably will be in a fantasy make believe world, so you saying that because science fiction is rooted in reality it makes it more masculine, but it doesn't because you are still actively engaging in a fantasy make believe setting. So, we can say that the subject matters more, the themes that occur and such. Most fantasy games are centered around ideas of traditional masculinity, these games also interest me because living in the modern role, the past interests me, and adding magic, stuff that is esoteric is also interesting to see.

Both genres can include themes of traditional masculinity, such as, courage, bravery, valor, dominance, conquering, triumph in battle etc. I play games because I want to escape reality sometimes, you are doing the same thing, doesn't matter what games you play. It more matters what the subject and themes the game incorporates.
