Smut discourse is something I stopped caring sbout years ago, and by reading enough of it, I think you get used to it, eventually. Internalized homophobia is a whole other beast, and I hope you have people around you or a therapist to talk to about it, perhaps? Maybe looking at wlw/sapphic book discord servers or subreddits that are romance-inclusive might help? I don't talk to most people I know IRL about the queer smut I read, but I do discuss it with queer online friends who read similar stuff, and that helped me feel less alone.

  • does anyone else feel shameful for reading romance and smut?

    i like many genres. in fact, my favorite genre across all mediums is thriller. i am in a romance and smut phase right now. i am a lesbian and mainly read sapphic romance and smut. i am currently reading ā€œThe Knight and the Mothā€, which is my first romantasy. between my own internalized homophobia, and the constant romance/smut discourse, i feel so shameful of what i read and enjoy. sometimes i feel dirty with myself. do any romance readers feel this way? i never read or watched anything romance until i discovered i was a lesbian and realized i didnt hate romance i just wanted something between two women. it took me a long time to build up the courage to actually engage in sapphic media. now, with the romance/smut discourse, all the courage is coming down. šŸ˜”

    We should illegalize (yes, that's a word) open endings. Not rating this because I'm far from the middle grade target audience.

    This is probably one of the most well-developed romance graphic novels I've ever read. The romance feels realistic and well-paced, and the main couple is very cute. I would've loved to see them talk a bit more about why Momo made the assumptions about PG that she did, but other than that, I really enjoyed this.

    Honestly the plot of this series keeps getting more convoluted in a way that's just not fun to me. I also really dislike the dynamic between Maomao and Jinshi and the way he treats her. I think, therefore, that probably means I'm DNF'ing this series.
