I don’t even particularly like The Remarried Empress or watch the drama, but when I see people dragging out a novel from 2018 and going, “Today’s romance fantasy is so messed up, only stupid b*tches who support class systems read it, this is why I don’t read romance fantasy~~~,” I want to body-slam them. You’re not progressive. You just want to act superior while trashing romance fantasy and all its readers as one group.

And is that even today’s romance fantasy? Even while it was being serialized, that work was already beyond conservative—pretty much peak conservatism.

What’s funny is that people who say they don’t read romance fantasy, by their own admission, don’t know the genre properly because they “don’t read it,” yet when they weigh in, they talk like they know everything about it... Even if they genuinely used to read it and then stopped, who would know it better in the end: people who still read it or people who don’t?

When someone says, “That’s the problem with it, so I don’t read it,” they need to realize they’re just looking at whatever confirms what they already want to see... It’s fine to be lazy, but I wish people wouldn’t treat their own laziness and ignorance like something doesn’t exist just because they don’t know about it.

Even if romance-fantasy readers consume works with problematic elements, people need to realize how absurd it is that this cycle of casually attacking the entire genre and everyone who likes it comes around every single time.
