The Witchy Bitches on Nostr: Something I've been thinking about while reading this sci fi book is this, why is ...

Something I've been thinking about while reading this sci fi book is this, why is this genre grouped with fantasy? On book websites or libraries you have broad categories like romance, drama, triller, memoirs and science fiction/fantasy. It has been my experience that SF people are SF people and fantasy people enjoy fantasy and there isn't a lot of blurring of the lines. Most sF lovers I know aren't interested in dragons, witches and fairies. And most fantasy lovers aren't interested in space and robots. I mean there's some crossover but thrillers aren't lumped into the same genre as say memoirs there's no category like that. I'm guessing SF got lumped into with Fantasy because they're both genres that rely a lot on making shit up. Societies, languages, races of humans and other creatures etc. I feel like fantasy tends to look backward while SF tends to look forward when they make a timeline for the book. Yes another generalization but... it is a thing. This has been my pointless ramble of the morning. I'm going out now for real.
