I could’ve predicted this. Considering the vast majority of fantasy writers are European or of European descent and medieval Europe/mythology has a huge influence I would expect to see a lot of white people in fantasy. So the people whining about it are imbeciles. I’ve been downvoted on Reddit when I was on there more often for suggesting people who whine about diversity should create their own fantasy. The world is full of legends/myth/folklore, by all means adapt one of those or write a modern fantasy or write your own woke fantasies but stop crapping on the work of better authors. I would’ve loved a faithful Wheel of Time adaptation but that ain’t happening.
