There is a lot of uncited paragraphs, sources that are considered unreliable used as inline citations, and the lede should be expanded, considering the length of the article. Z1720 (talk) 15:28, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of spec lit articles seem to suffer from this, where fans will just add these outlandish claims to make the genre seem more historically or critically significant than it is. History of fantasy is a very similar case. The lead should probably be rewritten in general. "LGBT readers identify strongly with the mutants, aliens, and other outsider characters found in speculative fiction." is pretty ludicrous to include uncontested, speculative has in general always been a very regressive genre so the article should either address that or avoid making the sweeping statements it makes now.
