What's with all the scifi settings that have what are basically just D&D elves but in space?

Because sci-fi is (at least to some point) just fantasy with a different paint job

If you were smart enough to understand what elves represent, then you'd already have answered your question.

Alas, you aren't, and so you had to come here and be a retard.

I'm not really into sci-fi. So except 40k and Star Trek, how many of them have them? How many of them are japanese settings?
>>

With the exception of one's created before the eighties, most. One's that are based more in reality, or a satire of reality, like Starship Troopers, don't. But as soon as you allow for other sentient humanoid races, elves arrive.

A lot of elves-in-space shit is more space fantasy than scifi. Yes, there are exceptions, and no, I'm not saying it's wrong to call them scifi, there isn't exactly a hard line there. I'm not trying to be a pedant but where you see space magic and space-sword-fights you shouldn't be surprised to find space elves.

I almost think elves make more sense in space than they do in the woods.

The only thing better than space elves, are Giant space elves.

Is this what we got rid of quests for? More space for retards to ask autistic questions?

Considering the presence of quests have no impact on anybody's ability to make a thread, no.
