I know you're not going to provide any proof, that's obvious. But if you both to refuse to provide any, and quibble with stuff from others, that's a bit of a silly position.What I'm saying is, and what is again, easy to demonstrate, is that level of escapism and success of fantasy does not correlate well in the fantasy fiction market. An awful lot of best-selling fantasy has pretty dark, real-world-y themes.(As a side-note is perhaps ironic that around 5-10 years ago, there was actually a strong push from well-meaning but perhaps misguided people to remove racism, homophobia, and so on from fantasy, but it never caught on, and even the most modern of authors instead tend to be the ones including those themes rather than excluding them.)</blockquote>
