that's not even the problem i believe you can still think critically while reading a smut book it's the "ugh i have to think while reading" thing that's the real problem when we start to not want to critically consume media is when we become anti intellectual
this is turning into a "women who read smut = stupid/porn addicts" which is literally nowhere close to the point of the tweet! the problem is not wanting to think not the kinds of books shes reading you can argue that dark romance books facilitate this lack of critical engagement
@elflaylaa
yea i went down a rabbit hole of her page last night and she's talking about soc and while i get that fantasy isn't the easiest genre to get into, acting like soc has this inaccessible kind of writing is so 😭😭😭😭
and that would be an interesting point to make but it doesn't give you room to be openly misogynistic in my replies you're not inherently better than romance better!!!!
@spirito_guida
same but then i watched one of these commentary video essays on why it's okay to be a hater and i stopped like yea maybe i am better than someone who absolutely refuses to think critically...
@felicityguillen
they were critiquing babel and yellowface like they had a degree in literature but are praising fourth wing like it's the best thing ever but really are we shocked

We at Fairyloot wish to address the reaction following our announcement of a special edition of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. Over the past week we have looked into it, and are satisfied that the allegations which appeared in the comments are completely unfounded.
i feel like y'all are acting dense on purpose to think that the fact that she's a virgin is what's upsetting people and not the virgin girl who's shy about her virginity x experienced man trope
because murder isn't always malicious there are many cases like self defense where it's permissable however there is never any reason for rape and sexual assault to be anything but a disgusting and horrifying situation yet you sickos can't seem to want to understand that
i dont see anyone complains about murder in fiction because it is a major crime written in the books and also one of the possible crime to be committed by real person. because people knew we wouldnt kill someone just because we read detective conan manga series
actually there's something worse than a boring book and it's a frustrating one, one where it's so close to reach great status but is always on the fence of it never actually tapping into that potential
w-w-well it's because mlm media is a uh a safe space for women...yea a safe space for women to uhm not be sexualized and and and because... misogyny! male characters are usually more developed and... uh yeah... it's not fetishization! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 (/sar)
with the audiobooks being so fucking long i figure by the time im finished reading this series id be done with the sweater im crocheting so i will also be making a crochet progress

@strawberry_nyx
at the end of the day they just want what sells and poorly written smut seems to do it for a lot of people :/ i blame the "curtains are just blue" meme
