@thtgrlreads: Can anyone clarify why we think it’s okay to talk about dark romance books like this? #darkromance #darkromancereads #bookishthoughts #darkromancereader

No one ever says anything about horror books or true crime. Why always romance

It’s like saying that reading book with an assassin supports m*rder

What happened to people agreeing to disagree? I LOVE dark romance, but I can see why some people wouldn’t like it.

I’m so tired of this take from people who don’t want to take the time to understand or listen. No critical thinking. No room for discourse. I just let them talk with themselves in my comments at this point

Those are the same people who think Metalheads are scary & atheists don’t have morals 🙄

Cnc isn’t grape. It’s so annoying when they complain about it despite the fmc loving it the whole book. Like how do you read a character saying “I love when he does this” and say the character is a victim 😂

SA survivor. It does not glorify. It shows life after pain. Love after tragedy. That the most “broken” people can still find peace and love.

How many SAW movies are there? How often do people rush to see it? Does this make everyone homicidal? No, it’s like a crash. You can’t stop looking or in our case, reading 😅

Similarly, some who experience loss or trauma can develop a dark sense of humor. It doesn’t mean they don’t understand the gravity of the situation. What is taboo to some is therapeutic to others.

Yes Im a survivor & dark romance helps process - well 4 me it does anyway. But that aside everyone can have an opinion about any book/genre, but u dont have to get personal.

I don’t like dark romance I don’t like a lot of topics that come up in them but with that said to each their own you enjoy it good ! It’s not my cup of tea but I’m glad someone is enjoying it!

So is being an avid murder mystery reader condone murder or…?

I think it’s weird when people actually think they can dictate what people read.

As a SA survivor, I approve this message. Reading about it, on page or off page, no matter the genre, HELPS with the healing.

I dont understand why its ok to watch on TV but not reading about it. Fiction should make you feel things even if its bad.

As a survivor I feel supported and love seeing other book characters survive and go on to live a better life it give me hope consistently. I’ll be cautious and read the warnings but reading it is not supporting it

its not just dark romance that gets that hate. its even becoming that way with fantasy books and they have gone so far as to say oh, so you like oppression and support that and its like no. I think at this point some people are just nitpicking for things to be mad about no matter the genre.

I don’t like dark romance but I don’t care that other people do, what you read is your choice, I just wish explicit books had age requirements for purchasing as the thought of a younger reader consuming such content is very unsettling

I like reading dark romance and splatterpunk horror. If only these people knew what kind of horror books are out there 😭 some dark romance even borderline horror erotica already but I guess, to each of their own.

these are the same people who were mega fans of shows like GOT. 🙄 they are fine with it being shown in tv but not books?

This! 🙌 if you don’t like them don’t read them - simple. It’s always dark romance that gets a bad rep 🙄 don’t invalidate other people’s beliefs and feelings just because you don’t like them
