      Fantasy is largely reactionary (esp. on the surface), though that has shifted a bit. Ursula LeGuin is probably the exception that proves the rule.

      and she was very self-conscious about breaking the reactionary pattern and averting or subverting every reactionary trope in the genres she wrote in. she was good at it too.

      yeah and I maybe think her work was weaker for it too I read it and liked it a lot AND she cut herself off from a source of immense memetic power

      Replying to @eigenrobot

      I mean, she's been popular for 40+ years now and is likely to gain perennial status posthumously, so not sure I agree she suffered for it, memetically speaking

      I think going out of your way to avoid classes of ubiquitous ideas for the sake of ends up leaving your work feeling a little hollow

          But isn't subverting that expectation the entire point? This might be an agree to disagree situation.

          totally and it sort of worked for her stuff, she did some fun play with ideas but thinking about it only a single one of her characters struck me as memorable and the rest just kind of fade out to nothing idk
