And readers! There are a lot of people writing off the few dark romance books that tell great stories and are romances surrounded by dark atmospheres. It’s a shame really

It’s why I switched to primarily reading sci-fi romance cuz most of the time it’s not a fetishized rape scene but rather a trauma (flashback or semi active moment) of the FMC or MMC and their alien partner proceeds to love it out with them through wholesome means

What is dark romance supposed to be? I’ve avoided it because I thought it was all romanticizing abuse

While you do have a point, it’s called rape. If you aren’t mature enough to use the actual word then you aren’t mature enough to have a discussion about it. Using a euphemism just trivializes it.
