( No Title )
A lot of the criticisms that antis hail at fanfic writers are the same misogynistic, bad faith criticisms that have been hailed at romance authors since the 70′s, except that they coat that shit in academic language to make it seem like its in “better faith” all while throwing it at media that doesn’t have any of the influence that mainstream romance novels had.
Our grandmother’s read spicier romance than antis believe should exist.
ppl don’t want to admit it but meemaw, and her smutty novels went HARD.
Our granny had two entire shelves of absolutely lurid romance novels in her basement that would make a sailor blush!!
Antis talk about dubcon and enemies to lovers– Granny was reading about kidnapped maidens growing to love their brooding barbarian captors!
Antis talk about age gaps and underage romance– Granny was reading about fourteen year old girls married off to wealthy english lords!
It’s in print!! This is not new! Catch up, fanpol!
