ghe issue wirh romance is fantasy is how forced/misogynistic it is
typically iy's "wow guy is OP so women all love him" which is exactlt how incels see it. The market does this because social rejects gobble it up and make them feel backed up and correct.
Romance in power fantasies tend to write women really horribly and objectify them

I think the jealous factor plays a bit. I remember when I first got into these fandoms I was young and got jealous of the female protagonist and having a crush on the male one I hated the female, so the next best thing was boyXboy. I bet you that in this site if Art got together with Elijah everybody would be ecstatic.
I follow the comic in its original as well and the Tess, Art relationship is liked there. Honestly I like them too.
It's so hilarious that this comment section is so anti-romance. It would make sense if it was any other website, but anti-romance on the website where the front page is usually yaoi and shoujo romance is a bit ironic. But hey, you feel how you feel.
