Why does the fantasy genre have such a bad reputation?

I also like your comment about The Neverending Story. The book has real depth, especially the second half, but I am always hesistant to say it's actually my favorite book because if people know about it, they've usually just seen the movie.

two months ago i had my Auryn tattoo [as i've cared to mention here] and although i had a few people recognizing it, most people commented things like asking me if i like snakes and some ignorant idiot thought it was the Death-Eaters tattoo from Harry Potter
