First of all, I want to make it clear that I'm not trying to be insulting to anyone here and that I'm being 100% genuine. This is not a shitpost.
I have an unhealthy obsession with a certain type of fantasy novels that crap on "humans". By having some powerful main character commit genocide on humans (and having that be done as a power fantasy) and/or by making humans cartoonishly evil and weak so that the main characters don't seem bad for constantly crapping on them.
This seems to be very popular, and I cannot stop myself from overthinking why, especially about the usual comments they get that go something like "Exterminate all those insects!!!". My negative personality just makes me assume the worst.
The thing is, this didn't always bother me as it does now, but I ended up convincing myself that the fans of these novels must be horrible people. So now I'm thinking that maybe the solution is to just ask instead of continuing to have this debate only with myself.
That's why I need to know, if you like this type of novel, why?
