[QUOTE="Henry, post: 3214065, member: 158"] A lot of it I find is that more lately it seems that emphasis of fantasies is often on acquisitions - getting large sums of cash, being deadly and not getting told what to do, being calculated and cool, etc. It often happens the younger a person is (heck, I went through that stage of D&D characters myself back in my late teens) but it's seen through everything from board games to video games to pop music, and it's common in younger people, but it can be popular in older ladies and gents too. :) [I](In an interview this year, the rap star Onyx had said, "all the rap music these days is the same -- "I'm getting money; I'm getting women; I'll kill you. That's lame." :D)[/I] The genre of fantasy involving selfless acts is a bit less common, and really always has been. Even the pulp novels of the 20's and 30's involved "manly wealthy men doing manly things" that just happened to benefit the world. [/QUOTE]
