I actually think of SW as being high fantasy . . . in space! Not worth being a butt over, though. SF is totally a genre.

Well, the way this guy argues, "Fantasy" isn't a genre either! The sub-genres of high fantasy, low fantasy, urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, magical realism, and whatever other things you want to stuff under there are the genres.

And I guess "SFF" isn't a genre either!

The stupid, it burns.

Science Fiction is NOT a genre??? Tell that to my favourite prof, US Naval Academy, trained PhD in Literature and 'Twin Peaks' fan Dr. Cowan that it's not a genre. He only taught a full 3rd year English course on SF and Fantasy for years and years at Dalhousie University. Man, some people are just wanting to pick a fight! I choose my icon in response to the twat-waffle.

The sub-genres are the genre! Or... something.

Of course, this same guy said outright that "science fiction is a genre" just last year. So perhaps he's latched onto some avant-garde definition of "genre" that the rest of us plebes have never heard of in an attempt to make himself feel better about his education.
