No, realism is looking at a fantastical setting from the frame of the mundane.
IE what a morning commute is like in a city running on magic
Associating daily mundanity with the real isn't very scientific. It's just a politically motivated false association designed to push a conservative agenda.
A working class centric narrative in a fantasy setting is pushing a conservative agenda?
No, calling it realism is pushing a conservative agenda. Because you're mixing up consensus reality, which is a bourgeois tool of oppression, with the experiences of the working class. Thereby normalising the oppression we face from the realist bourgeoisie.
....city folks using a fantasy version of public transit is bourgeoisie oppression?
No, consensus reality is bourgeois oppression. It's continually served as a justification for genocides all over the world for hundreds of years
.....public transit is consensus reality?
Bro you're trying to see evil where there's just beige paint. Get a glass of water or something.
No, public transit isn't consensus reality. You're the one saying public transit is realism, I'm saying it isn't.
