Fantasyism

Fanyasyism is a non quadrant, culturally and economically variable ideology, that unifies all ideologies advocating for the establishment of Fantasy in the real world. Those ideologies take inspiration from the fantasy genre in litterature and other medias, and want to re-shape society and the world to make them ressemble it. There are many different versions of Fantasyism, depending on the sub-genre it is most inspired by and on the methods it uses to achieve its goal.

Beliefs
Most followers of Fantasyism share a taste for ancient - particularly medieval - aesthetic. However, they often mix modern and even Progressive values with it, such as  democratic,  freedom,  tolerance, and sometimes  social justice and  economic equality.

Fantasyism can be in favor of implementing magic into the real world. For rational fantasyists, this can be done by mimicking it using advanced technology, and/or by considering magic as a symbolic concept. Irrational fantasyists, on the other hand, relie on wiccan practices, pagan faiths, extraphysicism...

To establish fantasy in the real world, Fantasyism wants to populate it with as much mythical creatures as possible, such as griffins, dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, manticores, minotaurs, etc. This can be made possible by genetic engineering to create new species, and/or by robotics to create artificial yet autonomous creatures.

Fantasyism is in favor of diversifying the human species into different mythical races, suxh as elves, dwarves, faes and more. The way those races are then considered can vary, from discriminationist to egalitarian views, and changing one's race may or may not be accepted/seen negatively/be encouraged.

Fantasyism isn't necessarily against technological progress, especially since it can make its objective feasible, but it wants to hide it behind pre-industrial aesthetic. Though most fantasyists do want to ban all types of firearms.

The main sub-genres to influence Fantasyism are heroic-fantasy, high-fantasy and medieval fantasy. Other sub-genres can be : dark-fantasy, urban-fantasy, science fantasy, wuxia, sword and sorcery, low-fantasy etc.

Personality
Fantasyism loves reading, watch movies, play video-games and tabletop RPGs, basically everything where there is magic, dragons ad all that kind of stuff. They are geeky, a lore-master of everything that has fantasy in it, and they love talking about each of these things as well as introducing people to their sub-culture. They are a little too passionate about the fantasy genre, and can quickly annoy those around them who aren't into it as much as they are.
