As someone who reads like a LOT of dumb romance books, one thing that ticks me off is that the authors always strive so hard for body diversity when it comes to ladies, but that courtesy is never given to the guys. All dudes are always described to be square jawed and muscled and very tall and like… its boring lol.
Its not woke or special to go out of your way to diversify women’s bodies and describe them to be different and then write 1018301 books with the same muscled beefcake abs upon abs motherfucker but like with different hair colors or something. Such emphasis on the lovely softness of plus size women, but then clear disgust for fat or softness when it comes to a guy. Sure. Alright. I hate it.
#Ruby dixon really loves the term ‘without an ounce of body fat’ to describe men and it drives me fuckin nuts#also the lack of body diversity in the men makes the body diversity in the women feel cheap#Also Im a sucker for height and bulk and i GET why its so common but like bigger gal? smaller guy??? is the HEIGHT of pairings lmao#Also i read a lot of monster romance and im often ticked off by the fact that it’s basically contemporary romance but with a man who is#green or something like ugh can we have some fucking MONSTER in the damn monster romance????#Monsters bodies can be FREAKISH AND WEIRD#I WANT FREAKS GIMME FREAKS#Also like why must the man always be so strong lol like why do we need these romance book heroes to be olympic athletes#I want a weak cringefail idiot loser#Can the monster man be a dumb pathetic idiot for once PLS#Can i have PATHETIC#Can i have weird and unnerving and pathetic#gimme weirdos and freaks
