What is your favourite fantasy race/creature?

Always. 10/10

The onions in the analogy represent humans; just as there can be onions in a meat dish, there can also be humans in a fantasy story. However, adding onions to a dish with meat doesn't mean the onions are now meat in the same way that just because there are humans in a fantasy story doesn't mean humans are a fantasy race.

So I did understand it correctly. And I agree with this completely, that is what I wrote in a roundabout manner when I was clarifying in my 2nd post here. However, this is just an analogy, and if I negate this - if humans are in a fantasy story, it means they are not a fantasy race (simply put, humans in fantasy stories are not a fantasy race) - which I'm pretty sure is what you believe or at least that's how I understood it, I can no longer agree with it.

...was garbage because you're implying that I claimed that humans don't belong in a fantasy setting. I never said that at all.

I'm writing this for the last damn time. I did not imply nor write you did anything. I've just been explaining my point of view this whole time.


Thor is not a Marvel character because he exists in Norse mythology.
Humans are not a fantasy race because they exist on Earth.

This is the parallel of my analogy with what you said at first that I was trying to make, and I'm not sure if you didn't see it or what. Those are obviously not true, because Thor can be a Marvel character as well be in Norse mythology. However, the point is that, just like Marvel's Thor is different from the mythological Thor, the humans of some fantasy world are different from the humans of Earth. The differences are often small (10% larger rat) but at times they are obvious (house-sized rat).

If the differences are small, you can broadly lump them together with Earth's humans and say that's the same thing, because humans already have very high diversity. At some point, however, which isn't possible to easily define, the differences are so large you cannot say Earth's humans are the same as the race in fantasy, despite the fact they are both named humans. That makes them, in that specific instance, a fantasy race.

...was garbage because you're implying that I claimed that humans don't belong in a fantasy setting. I never said that at all.

I didn't change the subject; you did.

You are accusing me of one thing after the other. Until you stop telling me I'm stupid or that I'm changing the subject and acknowledge that you understand what I'm writing, we can have this back-and-forth.

Except a fantasy story and real life are two very different things. A Marvel story and a Norse mythology story are two similar things; unless you are of the Norse religion, then they are both fiction. The parallel you tried to make still sucks. Most people can tell the difference between a real race and a fantasy one by going outside and noticing the lack of fantasy ones; you should try it.

That's a really poor analogy, but I suppose that's the best you can do.

In my first comment I simply assumed (correctly, it seems) that that garbage analogy you made was the best you could do. I didn't explicitly call you stupid, but hey, "if the shoe fits..."

You'd be surprised. Human is winning the vote so far on Reddit.

This deeply disappoints me...

If you want to be this way, I can stop playing nice. From the very beginning, I have called your analogy stupid once because that's how it looked to me at the time and tried to explain what I think. You, on the other hand, have insulted me multiple times, smeared the ground with all of my explanations, and did not provide any reasoning of your own.

If calling me stupid directly or in roundabout ways and my arguments garbage are the best counter-arguments you can come up with instead of having a proper discussion, then it seems there's not much more than that where it came from.

Thanks for the exchange. I consider this case closed.

Sorry, OP, for taking over the thread a bit.

I did try and answer your poor points, dissecting them one by one and providing valid counterarguments, but you whined that I was...

picking out fragments from what I'm writing and answering halfs and thirds

...make up your mind. LOL

I consider this case closed.

Well, case closed then. Hey, according to Scaletalon, apparently the people of Reddit agree with you. Maybe you'd like that echo chamber. LOL

Sorry, OP, for taking over the thread a bit.

Among all that whining you did, you never even stated your favorite fantasy race.

Do not fucking test me.

My favorite creatures are some supernatural ones. Most of them don't fall under the purview of common fantasy though, and they're very specific creatures I can't really name cause there's either too many interpretations of them, or they don't really have a common name.

If I had to choose from something more general, then probably elementals, dragons, and intelligent demons (that last distinction is important). Hard to settle on one.

I stand corrected; you did participate. 10/10

huh, do werewolves count as demons? because I gotta choose werewolves for favorite, I blame that Van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman because those transformation were so cool and how they looked was a 10/10 compared to underworlds werewolves.

 

[Anonjohn20]

no

I gotta choose werewolves for favorite

good choice.

 

[owotrucked]

Are humans in fantasy stories really human tho? They might look like us and think like us but those fuckers can do magic and shit

Like, we're shit-rolling beetles but those guys are bombardier beetles

 

[Shiriru_B]

no

Rats.... I already voted for demons

 

[Daitengu]

Japanese girls with big booty.

Kson, Byoru, and Hane Ame have big enough booty for me, but I get that standards differ. My bro is a chubby chaser after all.

Just pick other then, you know the list is shit when vampires are labeled with demons.

He would be an Elder Dwarf. Short, buff and a master of his craft

Hane Ame is Korean I think? Kson has big tiddies, don't know about her booty. Have no idea who Byoru is.

Normally werewolves are either voluntary shapeshifters or cursed humans, depending which tradition you follow.
Scandinavian and several Native American versions had people who wore enchanted skins to transform (the Scandinavian ones only used wolf pelts and would heal from all wounds unless the hide itself was found and either poisoned or salted while it was not being worn - usually they were capable of other forms of magic as well; the most common Native American one could take the form of any creature or person it had killed and ritually skinned - depending on the tribe, these were either medicine men who had gone to evil or a race of creatures).
One of the versions from the British Isles is also the one used in the World of Darkness games - making werewolves a race sharing the world and acting as "dark protectors" (essentially the "shepherds" for "flocks" of humanity!); another version has them as just cursed people (who can be identified by having more than one of the following traits: red hair, index and pointer fingers the same length, unibrow, dislike of cooked food) who transform fully into animals under the full moon - and this version is only pre-Hollywood one with any real special immunities, as, while they can be killed the same ways a human or wolf could, unless they are decapitated, the mouth stuffed with holy wafers or garlic, and the body buried on consecrated ground, they will rise at the next full moon as a vampire.

Maybe it's like eating Cheetos - you use the chopsticks to not get butter and grease all over your fingers?
