There’s a book about a guy who has sex with a girl who he blinded, labeled “erotic horror” and you’re all surprised I’m worried about stupid American women writing romance novels featuring a member of the Taliban as a love interest?

Dear White Women, Given how you gush over “dark romance”/“mafia romances”, I’d better not catch any of you writing romances that makes a member of the Taliban a love interest. You already piss me off with your tourist TikToks with those assholes.

Erotic horror is literally a completely different genre than erotic romance or smutty romance. It has a different purpose, different readers, and they’re *supposed* to be horror. You’re barking up the wrong tree here. You’d also do better convincing people of your cause if you didn’t lump a whole swath of women into “stupid.” No one is writing taliban romance that isn’t going to immediately get canceled by the greater romance community.

The romance community literally gushes over haunting Adeline, a book where a guy violates a girl with a gun. Dude. They ain’t gonna do shit about haunting Adeline.

I actually don’t care about what other people are reading when the very very vast majority of them know fact from fiction. People use dark and erotic romance to safely explore kinks and heavy topics. And once again, erotic romance and erotic horror are literally different genres with different readers and outcomes. Besides, you aren’t even calling out a book. You are calling out an idea that most everyone is not thinking of doing, and by doing so, you’re bringing attention to it.

Have you considered that booktok is a sprawling generalization with very different communities? Some of it is dark romance. Some of it is classics. My booktok is mostly queer and literary horror. Disrespecting everyone who uses a platform is never going to go over well, especially when you are being undoubtably pretentious about it.
