Y'know When You Hear Someone Talk About Their “guilty Pleasure” And How It’s Always Something Pretty

Y'know when you hear someone talk about their “guilty pleasure” and how it’s always something pretty benign? Like, “My guilty pleasure is reading erotica,” or “I love to watch sappy rom-coms; it’s my guilty pleasure,” or “Netflix is such a guilty pleasure–I binge-watched that entire show last night!”

Can we stop?

There shouldn’t be something inherently guilt-worthy about reading romance novels, erotica, young adult, or any other genre. Just like there shouldn’t be an guilt about preferring one type of music, or movie, or sport, or whatever, over another.

You don’t need to feel guilty about it!

Can we, instead, use the term “guilty pleasure” for actual things we shouldn’t be doing? Like…when I eat dairy or gluten… That is 110% a guilty pleasure. I shouldn’t do it. I know I shouldn’t do it. I’m going to regret it later, but right now I’m going to enjoy the heck out of this cheesecake.

I’m tired of society telling me I should be ashamed of enjoying romance and sex and “girly” things. (Because it always seems to be those types of things that are our “guilty pleasures”) So… no, it’s not a guilty pleasure that I watch Pride & Prejudice four or five times a year, or that I devoured an entire polyam erotica series, or that I like to paint my nails, or that I listen (and sing along) to Disney soundtracks. Those are just things I like to do. There’s nothing wrong with any of them.

Something I don't get about this hellsite:

When an actually well written piece of media has a main romance that has... conflict, the fandoms just decides to ignore them for those two that had like... two scenes (but zero conflict) and claim that that relationship should have been the focus or go all quirky 'uwu the writers want me so much to focus on Y but look how I'm liking X despite Y being the entire point of the story.'

But when it's actually a bad piece of media with a badly written boring relationship... The fandom goes on of how we have to Respect the Author and how the main relationship that is so Pure and Good™ is of course the focus of the story.

It's almost as if they just like boring, baseless relationships in which they can... Project.
