Apropos of nothing: how exactly do I walk the extremely fine line between “shitting on the romance genre is misogynistic” and “if you can’t read a book without one of your top 10 romantic tropes you need to grow up”
#like y’all I don’t want to be an academic elitist snob those people annoy me#but seriously the tropeification of literature is fucking disturbing#on the one hand i see stuff like this and it’s like. okay at least you’re reading#but on the other hand it makes me want to scream bc so many good stories are being wasted for their lack of romance#or more disturbingly: for their lack of popular romantic tropes!! what the hell!!!#and don’t even get me started on the way Tropes and trope-centric marketinv have damaged the way we interact with books#i could scream
