Line 34:
* [[Stephen King]], in his study of the horror genre ''Danse Macabre'', suggests that horror literature is ''inherently'' conservative, simply because horror is always a disruption of the world as it is—and it's shown to be scary and bad.
* A common feminist criticism of the ''[[Twilight]]'' series is that it's one of these. [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment|Let's leave it at that]].
* A common criticism in Science Fiction and Fantasy works insince morethe recent years{{when}}2000s is this as well, though it's coming from ''both'' sides. With one camp seeing it as too "progressive" and another seeing them as too "conservative." [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|It's best left at that]].
* In some sci-fi works aesthetic anachronism among local tribes (with feudal future, tribalism, and yes, even patriarchy) is something that is paradoxically presented by the author as something for the reader to enjoy but which has to be cured for the plot to be palatable. [[Poul Anderson]] is often satisfied to let the natives be their piddling little selves and have The Hero fight to protect that. Several of the ''[[Technic History]]'' episodes are about that.
* ''[[Honor HaringtonHarrington]]'' has both evil revolutionaries and evil reactionaries.
