I saw a woman on tiktok say that if Game of Thrones was written by a woman, people now would be pushing it as romantasy, and it really opened my eyes. Brandon Sanderson has admitted that he feels that if he was a woman his stuff would be marketed as romantasy as well. I had always found the term kind of iffy; don't most books contain a romance subplot? Especially fantasy ones. I admit that it's a whole different think to write a romance book with simply a fantasy world as your backdrop, but it often isn't the case, since I keep seeing books that would simply be defined as "fantasy" a couple of years ago keep being pushed into the "romantasy" subgenre and it puzzles me. I am sorry if I am reaching here, but it kind of reeks of "stuff for girls" behavior, kind of similar to the Grammy's pushing more and more divided subcategories every time a new artist (woman/poc/queer) wins in a mainstream category
