Only Women Buy Fiction

By Daniel Ware

-

I heard in an interview that

Only women buy fiction.

Yes, truly, only women buy fiction.

Only women buy science fiction.

Only women purchase fantasy novels.

Women are the main audience for comic books.

 

Star Wars

The Lord of the Rings

Marvel

DC

All of these franchises have women

As their target audience.

Because only women buy fiction.

 

Men only buy things that are 100% fact.

Men read history books.

Men watch the news.

Men only play games that are grounded in reality.

No man spends money on fiction,

Which is why only women play Dungeons and Dragons.

 

So if you try to create a fictional world,

Just know that men will not buy it.

Men will not search for lore.

Men will not spend hours arguing

About the true meaning of a cryptic message.

Because only women buy fiction.
