Fantasy is a pop song. By the logic explained in the discord server All For You & Dreamlover are R&B songs.
1. Compared to R&B songs and pop songs at that time and before then, Fantasy fits into the Pop category. It may have some R&B influences but it is not an R&B song.
2. Someone sent the fact that it went to #1 on the R&B charts that it is an R&B song. Might I remind you that How Will I Know, Let's Hear It For The Boy, & All For You charted at #1 on the R&B chart and they are pop songs.
3. Let me give you some examples of R&B up-tempo songs: He Wasn't Man Enough, Freeway Of Love, Lose My Breath, Family Affair, Baby (Brandy), & The First Night.

Pop leaning towards R&B and Post Disco.

There’s nothing about this song that’s even remotely close to R&B.

It's R&B just like We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together is country.

If Fantasy is R&B so is Dreamlover...

I'd say the remix is R&B but the original leans more towards pop.

It's pop R&B crossover. Primarily a pop song, but with just enough R&B elements that R&B wouldn't hesitate to play it.

I would say 80/20 pop-leaning, but given the question is asking directly "is this an r&b song" and not "does this song have r&b influences" I have to say no.

The 2 genres separately aren't super different from each other. Let's not forget in the grand scheme of things, genre's one of those things that exists but also doesn't really exist anyway |

People love to say Mariah was the first person to incorporate R&B (not even R&B) and Rap into a song...but 1984 Chaka Khan...En Vogue & Salt N Peppa

Her vocal delivery is what makes it R&B leaning.
