"An interesting tangent to the idea of fantasy being about bling is the fantasy role-playing game which most definitely IS a crypto-Objectivist bare-knuckle capitalist fantasy in which the peasants spend their lives with their feet in shit while the "elite" go around collecting huge mountains of gold, killing anyone that stands in their way and covering themselves in magical bling."
Man, that comment made me laugh out loud. Yes, I actually LOL'ed.
Rest of the discussion is kind of interesting as well, especially to those of you who read fantasy and/or science fiction.
