“No one really needs me.” “I do. I need you.”

I think we are focusing on the wrong thing when talking about mainstream romantasy adult books, instead of shaming straight cis women for reading kinky books, we should tralk about how most of the newer books aimed at that demographic are just conservative propoganda, rebranding patriarchy as a kink.

There's nothing inherently wrong about liking the types of kinks that are present, control, power imbalance, dark themes, but when you really look at the top performing novels (which they are mass prodicing at questionable speeds) it's hard to ignore the ever present morally grey man, who's posessive over the heroine who starts off as otherworldly different from the 'regular woman' aka damsel in distress), is cruel to everyone except her, and the fantasy world revolves around the control of women, especially when it comes to forced pregnancy.

The same people who say that would be singing a much different tune if he were looking at El in this scene.

I was supposed to bring my girlfriend to this new restaurant on a cute date but the waitress came out to her parents on accident and she’s dating a chef now and honestly now we’re both far more interested in this than whenever we were doing before
