You know, I think that's the case for a lot of us. I'd read shoujo more often if most female main characters weren't dumb as fuck.
I absolutely agree. Also, nice name XD
lol,thanks
Ikr I love the whole innocent heroine/ uke trope but innocent doesn't have to mean idiot. I'm really picky about the kind of het romance I read. I used to love it but I don't know if it's the characters, my own fucked up past, the females that are ridiculous, or the lovely gay "uncles" that spoiled me rotten, but whatever it is I grew to loathe het romance. I grew up with gay men and dykes and I'm crazy het but the only women I've ever found attractive in a sexual way were handsome dykes. Although there's a bit of a weird feeling associated with that bc my mom went through a bull dyke faze. (Which incidentally embarrassed the shit out of me-> you don't want me to hear about your moms fav strap on
-innocent yet bad ass uke. Back when I read het romance nothing was better then finding a female heroine who could cut an enemy to shreds. The only het romance I can still actually stand is the angels blood trilogy. If it was yaoi it would be my holy grail.
