In this thought-provoking video, we delve into the complex relationship between fantasy fandoms and politics. Join me as we explore the reasons why fantasy communities, known for their creativity and escapism, might benefit from maintaining a distance from political discourse. I discuss the potential pitfalls of intertwining fandoms with political agendas, the impact on community dynamics, and the importance of preserving the joy and imagination that fantasy worlds offer. Whether you're a die-hard fan of fantasy literature, films, or games, this video poses critical questions about the role of politics in our beloved communities. Tune in to discover why sometimes, it’s best to keep fantasy as a refuge from the real world.
