literally why my do not read list is oenelope douglas rina kent hd carlton colleen hoover neva altaj and danielle lori. the last two being added for (danielle) the sa scene in the darkest temptation and for (neva) having her book after darkest sins be a step sibling romance where they became siblings when he was 18 and she was a baby and then theres letters from when she was in middle school and meetings in prison(grooming/pedophilia) the start of the actual pursuit is when she just graduated hs

No one is ready for the conversations of how dark romance is just 🍇 being fetishized, and NO ONE is ready for the conversation about how “smut” is a fancy way to say 🌽. It does not matter what form the scenes come in, if you READ the material, it is still 🌽.

I hate how ‘dark romance’ has romanticized this treatment just bc the guy is hot. Like no matter how attractive he is, it’s abuse! Girl, you should be running!

you’re right for the most part however id say its modern dark romance thats rape fetishization. im a dark romance lover who stopped claiming the title after seeing how it evolved to what it is now cause I used to be able to blindly read books without searching to get spoiled to make sure theres no romanticized rape back then but I cant do that now. I ask if everything is consensual before adding anything to my tbr these days because even if it isnt they ommit that from the tags bec

because rape by itself isnt enough to say yeah I make the mmc rape the fmc and they end up together because I dont mind rape when its for storytelling like somebody going through abuse and this is their story but I do get triggered when its ROMANTICIZED. and they usually lump it under spice and cnc when mind you cnc ain even supposed to be romanticized cause its an unhealthy coping mechanism thats supposed to be worked through its not supposed to be a permanent kink bc of it nature but they dgaf

I remember as a kid wondering if Swabb was one of them as well. Looking back, clearly he isn’t since it came out before Silence in the Library.

This girl was talking about this book, so I gave it a try, and the girl practically got SA at gun point, but it’s okay because she was wetter than a Slip N’ Slide. I just can’t see how girls love this stuff.

I’m pretty open minded, but I just get into BDSM and CNC, not my cup of tea. Without giving tmi, I hooked up with one girl that was really into that, and I had to tell her that I’m not really into all of this and I should go home.
