Posts like these make me want to leave this thread. I love escaping reality and the way I do that is reading romance/ romantasy. I like being able to turn my brain off and just read. I think it’s ridiculous we see this take every couple months.
Maybe this is pretentious of me, but ppl that don’t read outside of romance pmo

It’s literally just misogyny but they’ll try to twist it every way possible to act like it isn’t. Often internalized misogyny too. Especially when no one has this conversation about any other genre.

Saying “criticizing romance = misogyny” implicitly assumes romance is a uniquely female genre that women can’t handle criticism of, which is itself a gendered assumption.
