Fein the article:

People might have a preference, sure, but that’s not what’s happening in Split Fiction; the game makes it seem like sci-fi writers think fantasy isn’t a form of legitimate artistic expression, and vice versa. It’s hard to imagine any fan of either genre today being that hardline about the other.

What? No, it's just Mio. Still, the dialogue is somewhat tropey; I hope it stays ultimately better than ITT.
