Reading erotica and skipping just to the spicy bits feels like going to a fancy restaurant and ordering chicken nuggets. Not kinkshaming people, but I don't get it. Really cool that you're a clinical psychologist though! That's a field I'd love to learn more about.
That's exactly what I'm saying! There is so much intimacy lost within the context that is not within the spicy scenes. Clinical Psychology is fascinating and scary at the same time, because you realise how much of your own brain you actually don't know anything about 🫠
this is what happens when girlies skip their ao3 smut phase. srly though, a friend of mine recommend booktok because she thought I'll like it, only for me to find puddle depth analysis and recommendations on the get go. glad it wasnt just me being overly critical
I couldn't agree more. The difference between the smut in booktok and AO3 is that in fanfiction, you already know the characters. There is a context within the partnership, and you already have a connection with them. Whereas for booktok books, you only find empty tropes with no substance because the meaningful connection hasn't been created beforehand.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including you, so whatever. it's just quite ironic to go on a public platform naming many people 'illiterate' for reading what you consider 'trash' and 'ban-worthy' and make grammatical mistakes at the same time, lol. and no, we don't have to be accurate in a foreign language 100% of the time, coming from a non-native of English myself. it's the fact that you are ready to trash people for their taste and guilty pleasures while not speaking immaculate English yourself at the same time. do you see the contradiction here? you set high standards for others, then set the same ones for yourself?
Your comment is like the pot calling the kettle black, mate 💀 I would take your comment seriously if you hadn't made any grammatical and mechanical errors in your comment 😉

If anyone shames you for being overly critical; they aren’t critical enough themselves. Only the intellectually lazy parrot this.

all books and fiction are political, regardless of the authors' stated intent.
Because reading itself is political. Amen!
Brutally honest, but soooo true.
It gets to a point where we have to say it how it is for people to understand 💀
