Ok. But what if it’s Colleen Hoover or some weird pedophilic violent abuse series? Then yeah. We gotta shame the fan of that series.
Being judged for reading a book series will never sit right with me. Let people enjoy themselves

Um no. You shouldn’t judge someone for enjoying or more so relating to that book because you have no idea about the trauma they went through and they could relate to the themes within the book. It’s one thing to dislike an author but the reader own interpretation shouldn’t be bashed because of your own beliefs.

You’re part of the reason there are garbage romance books where the male love interest commits sexual violence against the female main character and it’s romanticized.

It’s part of a bigger theme you can’t relate too. Sexual violence is often romanticized and it shouldn’t be. but it’s a very realistic thing that happens and reading books as the sort can let people who is experienced this feel that they’re not alone. You may not like it so just don’t read it, but to judge somebody else, not knowing their trauma isn’t it.

Victims of SA relate to like your example of Colleen Hoovers books. There’s a whole community of girls who sadly relate or have problem with stuff like this after assault it’s something I wish people considered instead of judging.

I mean talking about Colleen Hoover being glorified for the things she’s said outside of her writing and some of the shit she’s written in some other books, not simply the plot or theme of it ends with us (which is what I’m assuming you’re defending)

Simply talking about the book itself and the prompt about judging people for enjoying/relating to it.
