Fantasies involving white knights/barbarians

>>49301550
Cause women do shit in STEM fields and fear a world where they have to deal with anything more complicated than an i-phone, plus there is more scantily clad men in fantasy.

Science requires thinking and magic grants desires without effort.

Fantasy has more appealing roles for women than sci fi, where they're usually treated exactly like men or overlooked entirely.

Women want to feel special and it's easier to feel special in a fantasy land where women are warrior princesses than a scifi land in which women are part of egalitarian societies where they're no different than men. Because "social progress".

>>49301550
Science.

If they do like Scfi and said scifi setting has giant bug monster that nom on people then they go to them.

Or I dont know how to explain they tend to like the "sleek" factions closest things are shit like Eldar,and ALEPH from infinity

They like elves and druids and wildlife stuff

Aliens don't compare very well.

>>49302215
Mostly this - although barbarians in loincloths or svelte elf men have plenty to do with it as well.

Like it or not, if you want to feel special or important, being a woman in Star Trek (whether UFP, Klingon, Romulan, basically anything except older Ferengi society) isn't going to do fuck all towards that feeling.

When everyone else is on that same level, you're like a republican senator in states where gay marriage is allowed: Nothing more than a random shmuck with nothing unique about them.

When it's wrong/taboo/illegal, much like the "warrior princess" who isn't letting herself be sold off to some fat bastard thrice her age, then suddenly the exceptions breaking said taboo are a special existence. They are notable. They are important to a narrative - any narrative.

>>49301550
You're asking /tg/ why women prefer what and you don't expect neckbeard answers? (Or maybe you do?)

I prefer fantasy to scifi because it's more fun. Though I enjoy history (and science), I avoid low-magic settings because it starts to get into that "low-fun" territory for me.

I don't want to spend time trying to figure out the historical or scientific justification for my bullshit. I'd rather magic-handwave and move on.

Why do I get to dress my dumb elf in silk and gold while going toe to toe with orcs with spikes on their spikes who take pleasure in smashing long-ears? Because it's my kind of power fantasy to be able to wear ballgowns to battle, fuck off.

Space opera/space pulp/sci-fantasy is my preferred method of sci-fi. It allows me similar ballgowns on the battlefield pleasure. I can be a pulp-y Lara Croft robbing space-tombs or a beautiful-but-evil space princess helping the evil empire conquer the galaxy without having to wear practical bullshit and have arguments with Autismo the Great over whether or not I can shoot something in the head with my space laser because the atmospheric pressure wouldn't be strong enough to conduct the bullshit that may not even be able to work at all in the first place.

I'm not a hard science kind of person. I admire people who are. But I'm not going to take pleasure playing in a setting/system where people who are hard science types can make me feel like an idiot just because they get their rocks off in imagining I'm dumb, when I could probably trounce them in many of my chosen fields of experience and education.

I have no idea what hard-science focused chicks are into, btw. Most of the ladies I rp with are artist types and we tend not to maths. I suspect they're the ones that look down their noses at anyone - other female types in particular - who can't grok crunch-heavy systems and need to ask for help. Y'know, the insufferable bitches you guys probably complain about anyway.

Well for one thing, women are far less mature than men. As a result, they are more attracted to fantasy which is a genre of convenience. Tropes and symbolism are representing by literal symbols. It's babby-tier story telling. Fantasy deals with immature themes and content. Sci-fi deals with the mature themes of speculative futurism and the dark side of human nature. Also it relies on knowledge of technology and science, things that women are lacking in. You know all those "Women in STEM" initiatives? That's an attempt to go against human nature. Women cannot handle the internal logic that sci-fi demands. They need plot-hole bullshit like that Veritaserum Incantum shit from Harry Potter because they are children.

Fantasy is about feelings. Sci-fi is about facts. That is why women like fantasy, and men like sci-fi.

This is an excellent point. In sci-fi, the central and most invasive problem with modern life for women (ie, living in male-dominated society) has already been taken care of, by society, offscreen. In fantasy, the women herself gets to be the instrument of its overthrow, personally..

>>49302684
That's probably in the vein of what's being spouted over there. But note the Calvin's Dad image. I think it's more tongue in cheek than you'd think. (If not, your image def. applies.)

>>49302700
>>49302418

... Until you realize the vast majority of fantasy settings have gender equality?

You're reading way too hard into this by making it some "empowerment" schtick. Women like fantasy because it isn't a pain in the ass to digest like hard sci and has awesome shit like dragons and horses and magic.

And elves, they're pretty hot.

>>49302746
See: Everyone prefers fantasy, unless you're a Star Wars nerd because then your sci-fi is fantasy.

>>49302700
I'm sure that's a draw for some women, but not all women consider their lives as being oppressed by the patriarchy. I actually prefer universes where genders are more or less equal and it is not typically unusual for a person of any gender to be [whatever]. If the most interesting thing about my character is his or her gender, then I dun fucked up.

>>49302605
Doesn't matter. It can still scare people off. It's how its represented, not how it really is.

Take Titan AE for instance.

Action Adventure film, really not for young children. But it was a cartoon and it was definitely marketed without hitting on the darker issues, so its target audience never went to theatres to see it and the audience that did walked out on it.

>>49302778

As a male who prefers sci-fi, I agree. the fuck is this shit that 'women want everything magic cause they can't handle the sciences like our masculine minds' shit? I prefer my sci-fi soft and gooey as far as science is concerned. It's unrelatable. Hard sci-fi is a pain in the ass to communicate to an audience that has no background in a STEM field, made all the worse by the fact that those who argue in favor of the rock-hard science in sci fi are often insufferable crustbeards. Sometimes people like concepts and themes that are familiar to them with a coat of space paint, you autistic fucks.

>>49302817
That's a marketing fault though.

>>49301550
This is not surprising. Men tend to be more fascinated by technology than women.

Son, you have no idea what pain in the ass can i-phone be. From developers point of view at least - the environment is straight up hostile and you have to make everything 200% idiotproof.

Because fantasy is more popular right now generally, than sci-fi and virtually all women are profoundly influenced by trend. Whatever is more popular at any given moment, is what increasingly more women will show interest in. When Star Trek TNG or Star Wars Episode #1 were all the rage, women loved them.

In short, what a typical man likes, he likes regardless...what a typical woman likes, is what her peer group likes.

Mainstream fantasy's got more confident, rounded protagonists and intrigue and bants and all that gay stuff while a lot of mainstream sci-fi lately tends to focus on big explosions and impressive ways to kill each other in space. Nothing wrong with that, mind you, but y'know.

>>49303144
I was so close to agreeing with them too. Humans, rather than women are largely influenced by trends. There are always outliers, of course, but for the most part, we get caught in trends because they make us part of the in group.

>>49303035
And idiot STILL manage to fuck up their 200% idiotproof I-phones.

>>49301550
I actually haven't really noticed that particular trend amongst the girls I know. For each girl I know who strongly favors fantasy over sci-fi I can think of at least one counterexample who strongly favors sci-fi over fantasy.

Assuming that the trend does exist and my sample size is too small, I'd say probably just lingering bias against women doing STEM. I know this isn't Tumblr, but I've definitely noticed that when given an equally-competent guy and girl, the girl will probably consider herself worse at math.

Because women haven't yet found an easy way to exploit sci-fi on a large scale because it's a smaller, and less popular genre than fantasy, which is easy to understand, and doesn't often call for one to think about difficult concepts.
Also machines with their complexity scares them away.

Scifi has traditionally been a very male-dominated genre. There's always been women writing fantasy, and honestly by number I wonder if there may be more fantasy written by women than men, but lady scifi authors are more rare.

There is also the fact that fantasy tends to be about characters whereas in most hard scifi the characters are literally dressing and plot vehicles. With social mores that push women really fucking hard towards being social and caring about people and you're a failure if you're not social in the "proper" way (I have a little sister, and seeing her grow up has been incredibly informative on the sheer shit a growing girl has to put up with. You have no idea how often I've wanted the ability to punch entire television networks), it's not terribly surprising that people that have been groomed this way would feel more at ease with the genre where characters and character development is important, over the one where the high concept is the thing and the characters are largely cutouts.

Sounds like a made up fact for troll/fun posting but

Sci-fi is liberal, logical in thought, atheistic, confrontational, societal, and often more cerebral

Fantasy is conservative, emotional in thought, religious/mystical, wish fulfilling, personal, intuitive and symbolic

>>49305490

Fucking this.

I remember when /tg/ was so much this.

>>49301550
I haven't noticed that.

It's almost like anecdotes aren't evidence or something.

>>49301550

I don't necessarily think that this is true, but I wouldn't know for sure since I don't actually interact a lot with women (or a large circle of people at all, generally - pretty much a massive introvert).

I'm also not going to speculate on if the trend if true, or why it might be true. But I will say this: Sci-fi in general is less popular than it was 30-40 years ago. So, it's probably less popular among ALL demographics, rather than one sex or the other.

I do however, really hate the tumblr/community college female demographic that seems to think we need more female sci-fi writers, and when confronted, can't name LeGuinn, McCaffrey Cherryh, Brackett, or Norton. They're all a huge influence on post 60's SF, and people who don't read SF should shut the fuck up about shit they don't know.

Yes, more female SF writers is good. But not knowing about the existing ones is a cardinal sin.

I personally prefer fantasy because I'm a forever GM and it's what I'm best at. I'm quite into medieval literature and religion/myths, so medieval settings are easier to write. I have many sources to draw from, I'm comfortable with the genre.

I've been GMing my first sci-fi game for my boyfriend because that's what he's into, and it's quite difficult for me. I don't have the scientific knowledge and I refuse to handwave things, so I have to do a lot of research. Even then I don't think I'm handling this too well, I'm not showing the science aspect as much as the political and cultural elements.

I think my case is common. Women are more likely to be into literature/anthropology than sciences, it makes sense many of us would be more comfortable with fantasy. It's what we know.

>>49304826
Strawman much? I didn't say males were the problem.

>>49304254
>I've noticed genetic engineering is one of the themes that pops up a lot, interestingly.

Women are natural geneticists, they have selectively bred the human race since the beginning while men are simply content to jizz in almost anything.

>>49304906
As has frequently been pointed out, the male stereotypes we see in fantasy are ALSO male power fantasy. They're not "great dad, nimble tongue" they're "rippling pecs, huge sword." Its the male idea of what a woman wants, not the real thing.

>>49307720
>Its the male idea of what a woman wants, not the real thing.

That's what I was saying as well, a clever tongue is a tongue that's good at figuring out just the right places to touch.

It's kind of like saying how a man could have cruel fingers even though they're doing exactly what the woman wants, they're cruel because they leave her wanting more.

>>49301550
It's not that women love fantasy more than sci-fi --most sci-fi is practically fantasy, after all -- it's that they tend to be more into stuff with a heavy focus on romance, sexuality, or interpersonal relationships, which fantasy tends to focus more on. Most sci-fi focuses on lofty speculation of the future and its societies or simply warfare, and while the former might potentially be interesting to most women, the writers of sci-fi are generally awful at depicting relationships and human interaction. That's not to say that there isn't plenty of literature popular among women set in a science fiction setting, though -- in fact, if I'm not mistaken, there have been far more movie adaptations from chick-lit sci-fi than there have been from chick-lit fantasy.

Have you or anybody else in the thread tries actually talking to women and finding out yourself?

I'm guessing not by the neckbeardy truism replies...

In general true Sci Fi ( as opposed to Science Fantasy like Star Wars) is less popular as it deals with more complex subject matter that you can't as easily squeeze into a Hollywood plot. This means less easily digestible media exists in the genre as most of the best stuff is written in books which people don't read. Star Trek is really the only good mainstream example and even the latest films are more fantasy blockbuster than traditional Sci Fi. This is nothing to do with gender. More men prefer fantasy too.

>>49308123
Neither is anything else we commonly think of as sci-fi.

Also the majority of sci-fi hard book follow a pattern in wich the protagonist is used to carry the narrative that describe an utopian/distopian/weird society/situation/war and then he solves the problem/live with it/adapts. And in the process the protagonist find the chick and sleep with her.
Science fiction or early science fiction is specially dependable of the point of view of the protagonist, an the majority of targets are teenager/adult males.

Science fiction is usually just saying there's an explanation for your magic, then not explaining it.

Also, how do you explain the female interest in Shadowrun where you have science AND magic? An equal amount of the Shadowrun Returns games backers were female.

It's easier to eye what's available and then try to zero in on the sort of scenario you like. There's so much fricking books of the genre out there that you're bound to find what you're looking for in a decent to good quality.

Me personally, I enjoyed Tessa Dare's post-napoleonic wars smut a lot.

I think the "discussion" goes something like this.

Lonely misandrist lesbians taking a break from smearing cheetos over their fat vaginas will sometimes see themselves in the mirror and realize what a fat and digusting whale they have become. As they try to escape into the world of fantasy, they realize that 99% of the women there are better looking than them, which is only accentuated by their clothing, charisma and even intelligence. In a furious rage they hit the echo chamber blogs with manhate, and buzzwords like the patriarchy, sexualizing, male power fantasy and others. Eventually some desperate intersectional ethics in journalism will claim someone got ptsd from online rape and the news will expand faster than a line of feminists outside an abortion clinic. At some point after this, someone will claim heresy and point out that men possess similar buzzword faults as the females in games, but somehow be overthrown by fallacies such as "muscles represent power, not sexualizing" and then it eventually dies out as the betacucks lose interest and go back to their favorite rape game, and the misandrists find an unexpected package of cheetos left.

You put a lot of effort into that post.

Because Fantasy is more popular and way less cerebral than actual science fiction (read, non space opera non cybershit)

>Hard sf is math heavy shit


I don't get this viewpoint. John Brunner was a hard SF writer and all he wrote about was realistic future scenarios. Hard sf just means realistic science fiction, and I always found that way more interesting than spaceships in space stuff

If most men were into fat chicks than we wouldn't have such a large HAES movement dominated almost entirely by white women.

There's hard scifi about marine biology and about 19th century modes of transportation.

Probably everybody here has seen one of the many movie and cartoon-adaptions those two books got.

Are there any studies to confirm this? I mean, something beyond the usual confirmation bias and small sample size? I know feminism is fantasy and robot waifus are sci-fi, but

The problem is that everything's called fat, from women who got big butts, to pear-shaped ladies to landwhales that are only identifieable as humans because their extremities are still visible.

Honestly, as soon as you hit 200kg+ you are big enough to be classified as another animal entirely. I don't think any other adult animal has that large a fluxuation in body mass percentage.

Obviously I do not expect my significant other to be my pet clown who dances when I'm bored. I'm speaking in the broader sense of a relationship. Someone who is merely a good lover is of interest only some of the time. Someone who is clever is of interest pretty much all of the time. I look for someone I really enjoy spending time with, bouncing ideas back and forth and shooting the shit over common interests and playful bullshit conversations. That doesn't happen in an unequal relationship.

I'm saying I like geeks and nerds, dipshits. Trust 4chan to turn an quip along the lines of, "I like smart, witty men and any sensible woman prefers that over some dude whose main attractive quality is that he'll go down on a girl." into an accusation of What An Awful Woman, God Women Are Such Bitches, Amirite, Boys? Glad I Don't Have To Put Up With That. Rite?

The post I was replying to was the fucking context. The context was not, "What do women want in a relationship?" it was "What do women want in a man?" Oversensitive nancies.

Thank you - I'll look into the author.

I actually adore Around the World in 80 Days and 20,000 Leagues. Leagues is absolutely "sci-fi". I don't actually remember any sci-fi elements in AtWi80. The game 80 Days, yes, but not the original source. Anyway - they're part of what feeds my steampunk fascination.
