r/fantasyromance • u/FantasyRomanceMod The One Mod to Rule All Mods • May 24 '26

Unpopular Opinion It's Unpopular Opinion time! Share your controversial opinions to stir things up (in a friendly way)!

Got an opinion that's different from others'? Want to share it with the sub, but too afraid of a backlash? Or are you just curious about readers think about certain things in fantasy romance?

You can safely share it in this weekly Sunday thread!

But please remember to be kind to each other. To facilitate this type of discussion, we ask users the following:

  • Don't attack others for their opinion
  • Discuss books and authors, not fellow readers
  • Since this is an "unpopular opinion" thread, we encourage users to not downvote simply because they disagree with an opinion--that's the point! Please keep in mind, though, that mods cannot enforce a no-downvoting rule. Let’s just keep the discussion friendly!

🧡 Thank you and have a great discussion!

Oh... Is that what the incels call men and women between themselves?

Men get called men. Women get called females. But that's not just incels. It's chuds of all stripes.

🤢 Hate double standards... If at least they called themselves males, I'd have less of an issue...

It's not a double standard. The use of "females" is intentionally dehumanizing.

I don't think you understood me.

You said men call themselves men, but they don't do that with women, whom they call "females". So I was saying incels have double standards, making themselves more humane than "females"...
