Let me clear this up for you
-
For me, Sci-Fi is about the hope of a better future. In those stories, people explore beyond our petty problems of the past.
Not much of that utopian sci fi around though.

There's some hopeful sci-fi on it's way soon with Starfleet Academy.
Mostly looking forward to the return of The Doc.

Scifi is when you're a fucking nerd who likes technology. Fantasy is when you're a fucking nerd who likes history. Literature is when you're a fucking nerd.

Flaw number one: sci fi can be a lot, tonally. It can be depressing, but also hopeful, horrifying, epic etc.
Flaw number two: fantasy can be a lot, tonally. It can be depressing, but also hopeful, horrifying, epic etc.
Flaw number three: "literature" is not a setting. There's fantasy and sci fi literature as well as real-world-related or apocalyptic literature. "Literature" is just written down stories. -

Yeah I guess there's two different categories of sci-fi in this regard. Personally, I think stuff that's as far ahead in the future as Star Trek is pretty close to fantasy. But then there's also the Philip K. Dick style near future dystopian sci-fi that serves more as a warning about the future we're headed to (or instruction manual if you're a techbro CEO).
Fantasy is probably the same actually. I usually think happy thoughts if I think about fantasy as a genre but then there's also stuff like Game of Thrones.

If every genre you read is depressing, you're the common factor.

Sci-fi is what the future could be.
Fantasy is what the world will never be.

Only because everything problematic about Trek is written off by fans as bad writing and/or it being a product of it's time and/or it being a film, and any opinion to the contrary is considered deeply offensive fighting talk.
Not to mention the fan base can get hella toxic too, the Micheal Burnham Discovery era was not a fun time to be a fan participating in episode discussions.

People need a pretext now?
