Robert Pattinson's admission that he hated acting in the movies and that those scowls were his unironic contempt for them actually made me like him a little more.
I'm not saying you're not allowed to enjoy them. Because I didn't, though, that little bit of trivia lore was neat for me. :blob-no-thoughts:
Nothing actually, I think romance/genre fiction is really fun and the only problem is people not really recognizing that it's not very reflective of reality. Like the dudes in this picture can realize the harem slop they consume is much different from romance slop that women tend to like until they swap genders, which is both hilarious and sad.
I still have a super soft spot for Tolkien's love take of Beren and Luthien (I swear this must be rooted in a deeply trad-oriented upbringing), and even that is not really much better than any other silly romance story.
For as much shit as people give Orwell (deservedly, the bastard man he was) I think the "do it to her! Do it to Julia!" was a genuinely powerful moment. :19: :84: was a very entertaining book to read as an 18 year old.

My mom is like 60 and revealed to me that she was deep into twilight. My mom is also an evangelical (maybe not as loony as some, but still...).
Anyways yeah, you're gonna have to carry that weight.

After seeing this comment, I realize the most romance containing piece of fiction that I have read is 1984. Hmm...
