I'm racking my brain to remember your mimicry tag. like the subversivness in mimicking something you dream for yourself??? it was so good
I'm FURIOUS because it was a whole-ass tag, and I simply...cannot find it, no matter what, ARGH. If you look under mimic and subversive, you see some of it, but not enough, wahhhhh
ETA: I FOUND IT JUST NOW, look at this post

I have seen a few posts lately which suggest it is problematic that the Modern Romance Industry / Genre label themselves as subversive ... and I 100% agree with the issues being highlighted around the fact that the content produced and promoted by the industry is problematic.
And like most industries - I am confident there is a need for more diversity across all areas of the industry...from authors, to editors, to execs... And like most industries which rely on selling creative works for profit, the Romance Industry / Genre is bound to encounter similar tensions around the fact that "quality work" or "revolutionary work" is not generally an "easy sell".
HOWEVER...
...stepping away from thinking specifically about Romance as an Industry / Genre... as I thought about the question of "what qualifies as subversive"...I kept banging up against something that I think sometimes gets lost in discussions by activists...which is:
I believe strongly that it is super important to acknowledge that subversiveness occurs along a spectrum and that to enact change there needs to be inputs (e.g. books, art, television, courses, conversations, signage, acts of rebellion, political movements, speeches, clothing, food, events, private acts, public acts etc) which span the range of what can be classified as subversive.
Yes, riots and protests and marches are extremely important - but so are the things that slowly over time reach the hearts and minds of people.
To be effective, a movement needs both types of actions and while we need to push for better across all arenas - the subtle stuff can and should happen simultaneously with the bigger conversations and the more idealistic actions.
Not everyone can do the big thing or the perfect thing - but most of us can do small things or imperfect things - and they can be just as important.
In fact, I would argue that if we let "the perfect be the enemy of the good" we on the left will be removing some extremely persuasive and effective weapons from the arsenal of promoting the changes we want to see in the world.
As a (mostly former 🙄) very "all or nothing" person - I can't tell you how many times I have chosen to do or say nothing because what I could do or offer wasn't perfect or enough... and where did that get things? Nowhere.
So now I do what I can as best as I can... and trust that what I do has a place in the landscape of promoting the change I want in the world.
I risk being imperfect and thus am - but as a result am doing much more than if I did nothing... this is true of you too.
Please be gentle with yourself and others.
Little actions matter.
Big actions matter.
....but you as an individual likely can only do one or the other in any given moment - you cannot (no matter how much our brains try to convince us otherwise) fight every battle or get everything perfect... so we each need to pick our battles... and sometimes? You need and deserve to step away and recharge and just be. You need to take care of you and your loved ones. And that is ENOUGH.
So how does this apply to the whole the "Romance Industry / Genre is problematic" question...
I am glad and thankful that some people are doing the hard work of calling out the industry and genre as a whole. It absolutely needs to be done...
...but there also needs to be recognition of those in the trenches who are working to change things from the inside. Who are writing B stories with gay or trans or disabled or aro or ace characters. Who are normalising a range of female sexual responses. Who are showing older, or fatter, or dyslexic, or whatever protagonists. Who are showing "brassy "women and "gentle" women within the same story and saying that both types of women are valid. Who are challenging toxic masculinity. For the publishers and editors that are seeking more diverse authors. These people are in the industry and it would do the left well to raise them up as examples and not just as "rebels within an oppressive genre / industry" but as the core of that industry.. (which is my experience - although I may be a selective reader in that regard).
Below the cut for those who are interested: What turned into a long, what one of my favourite YouTuber would call "a waffle", about why - as both a reader of mainstream (mainly historical) romance and now writer of romantic fanfiction - I ultimately believe the romance genre / industry as is (even though there is huge room for improvement) - is subversive - and why I believe it is important to acknowledge it as such...

Alyssa is just afraid of wild dogs and errant children knocking over her CPU tower and she doesn't like it when they wander into her Acid Repository either. Throws off the pH
Of course I don't do that and Alyssa would never have thought of that.

'The Simpsons Season 28': Creator Matt Groening "Proud" And Keeping Reputation About Shows 'Subversiveness'
Fox had announced the dates of airing shows to be featured on their network for the 2006-2017 Season; and it includes the unprecedented comedy series loved by everyone: The Simpsons. who is now moving on its Season 28.
The Emmy-Award winning show has been surviving in the television network with its countless episodes that had a lot of guest appearances from celebrities, as well the many made catch phrases starting with the “D’oh” sound always heard from the leading ‘man of the family’ Homer Simpson.
Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, tells the success from a recent interview of the iconic family mentioning the word ‘subversiveness’ as part of the concepts he always put on stories according to Dallas Observer.
‘Subversiveness’ may link with the words ‘agitation’, ‘protest’, and somewhere between owning ‘rights’ and claiming the existence of equality of humanity. In proof for an exact definition: it is the tending or intending of subverting or overthrowing, in means to destroy or undermine an established/ existing systems such as a legally constituted government or a set of beliefs, Dictionary.com
These kinds of words are heard through series of made Revolutions/ People Power Movement in history.
Somehow, Subversiveness is also the kind that defines: the act without doubting uniqueness, justifying an appeal in a selfless way, and having own liberation of doing so.
The Simpsons, with more than 605th episodes, have captured the hearts and laughter of its million followers for over 27 Seasons; and the intention to ‘stop’ never came as an option to end the gangs’ antics and drama, with the iconic family still keeping the image alive from generation to generation.
Groening also tells how the show made viewers feel the ‘superiority’ on characters success. Success in a way of how it executes the ideal persona of real life, featuring dialogues that are mostly been heard on masses perceptive ideas; says this has been his flow on telling stories from each episode he has done.

“He wanted the show to go for real emotions and make people forget they’re watching a cartoon, and that was a great goal to have in the very beginning,” says Brooks.
It is certain that fans would definitely love to see more from Matt Groening’s’ creation of The Simpsons with Fox confirming an all new series for its 28th Season airing this Fall, September 25, Sundays’ at 8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT.
