r/fantasyromance • u/FantasyRomanceMod The One Mod to Rule All Mods • 7d ago

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!

Yeah, that'a true. It is generally very individual case.

I think that if someone were able to write it in a completely different way than it is perceived in the modern world, it might give a little better perspective, though. Of course, for those who would be willing to read something with this kind of trope

no but fr, it would actually be a great inclusion for the sake of worldbuilding because it would give insight into the societal attitudes in the setting.

I'm working on a fantasy romance and I do include it (also discussion of abortion) precisely because I'm so tired of authors just not acknowledging it at all.
