More meaningless thought posts. This time about fantasy as a genre, kind of. I think one of the things I admire most about partial fantasy, full fantasy, and to an extent some sci-fi settings is how form can take precedence over function thanks to the world having more loose rules. A common example is always the more showy outfits in fantasy games. Bikini Armor in reality would be deadly and worthless but a fantasy world where armor has magical effects on top of normal defense allows for this fun aspect.
The reason I got to thinking about this is long hair. Specifically, impractically long hair. I like a girl with super long hair however without bending aspects or reality the hair becomes a pain with no upside. Within a fantastical setting though? A girl with long hair could naturally have an ability which consistently keeps the hair from ever being a nuisance. Magic could be used for such a purpose too.

Anyways there's no real meaning to this rant. I guess the point is that I hate those who create modern fiction with settings where form over substance can exist and never use said setting.
