In casual conversation it's fine to lump it in with science fiction since most people don't know the difference, but it is technically science fantasy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fantasy

>> No.10208617

I used to be into science fiction and fantasy stuff long before I was into Japanese entertainment. Books, role-playing games, what have you. I don't really read much anymore and when I do I'd rather read some classics I missed because I shunned "normal" literature, but I'll probably go back to it someday.

I was also, and still am, into comics. European, American, everything. Never too much into superhero comics, but I still read them if a writer I like is writing.

And there are also games, but I can't really call myself a "gamer" anymore - 99% of games that come out these days in the west are just bitterly disappointing. I'm still hoping for the indie stuff to pick up the pace outside of the few niche genres it fills now, it's pretty much the last hope gaming has.

It's the same mistake that leads people to think anything with a Victorian-esque setting is steampunk, or anything with computers is cyberpunk.

Classic sci-fi is political in nature. It's kind of like 1984 -- it makes a point about contemporary society using futuristic technology and science as plot devices. It's similar to how a lot of fairy tales are about goblins and witches on the surface level, but they're really about teaching kids some lesson.
At some point in the 20th century, people said "LOL FUCK THAT SHIT" and now we have dumb space action movies and sword & sorcery novels. It's all adventure stories. Switch that gun to a bow, and that space ship from Saturine to Neptus with a galley from Avalonia to The Shadowlands, and it's now fantasy instead of sci-fi.

Walt Kelly's Pogo and a bunch of other shit

Classic Disney, and even give the frenchies some time

This thread made me realize my love of visual culture didn't originate with Japanese media...

Makes me wonder when the shift took place

Japan has a lot of shit and great variety but western games are more appealing and less sexual
Parents and shit worry less about violence then sexual stuff so west becomes more likely to sell to older players
Otherwise Nintendo has its safe for all ages games

Also probably astronomy. I can't believe how much I used to love looking up at the night sky as a kid. I loved thinking about all the planets and to a far lesser extent, stars. On warm summer nights before we had internet I'd go out in the backyard and look up at the night sky for hours. To this day I still make it a priority in my life to go out and enjoy the full moon when it comes around.

I still wish my parents had gotten me a proper telescope. We only had a pair of binoculars.

Does media include video games? I can't imagine my life without video games. Probably I'd hate consoles with a passion and only play computer games.

But then consoles wouldn't exist without Japan. So I'd probably be happy playing war strategies, since STG wouldn't exist anymore.

I like animation in general so it wouldn't matter none.

American cartoons would probably still be good.

They saved it though. Consoles would have died and stayed dead until this iphone era.

Arcades might not have died out though, or else they would have been emulated on PCs with official software.

This thread is full of wannabe nerds. The type that shows like "the big bang theory" panders to.

To be honest, Star Trek was a large part of my childhood because of my dad. He was a general sci-fi nerd, he brought me to some cons, and my tastes only really deviated because of cultural exposure during the 90s.
