I promise it's not because of the RPG topic, I came here to make this poll and saw it on the front page, it's just good timing lol

But this is more about the genres as a whole rather than a specific piece of media, just which do you prefer in general: Fantasy or sci-fi? No fence sitting, genre blending, or both-sidesing, you have to choose one or the other

sci-fi easily tbh, no contest.

I'm not a trekky but I can easily watch Star Trek and actually get into it. But Star Wars is just straight up garbage to me.

sci-fi also covers alien/ufo horror, post-apocalyptic action, time travel, super powers, etc, so many good sci-fi.

Fantasy

Shit like Star Trek isn't really my thing. That kinda Sci Fi. Now horror stuff like Alien or The Thing? That's cool.

Probably fantasy. Also I wanted to talk about a Phantasy Star IV that is a def, real mix. Fantastic game, too bad that was the last one.

Sci-Fi. As a genre, it can be quite provocative.

Unfortunately, its often used as more of a setting than a genre, which means its basically just fantasy in space.

Sci fi is a deeper pool to pull from, so Ill give it the nod. Some of my favorite reads have been fantasy though.

I highly enjoy fantasy meanwhile I generally dislike sci-fi so this is a really easy decision for me.

sci-fi.

I prefer stuff that's conceptually possible, especially if they could create ideals we can work towards (like with Star Trek).

fantasy is cool, too; it's just not my favorite.

Fantasy by far for me. Sci fi can be solid though.

Hard for me to choose just one. I love both and science fantasy is just the cherry on top.

Sci-fi tbh.

I've read more books in the fantasy genre than sci-fi (i have trouble reading about sciency stuff tbh).

But I prefer sci-fi setting videogames and movies.
