Oof.....

I'm gonna assume some people will think why I think romance is bad? even attack me? or maybe I'm just looking for a fight? who knows?

Yes, the world doesn't revolve around me I know.
I do have a life aside from just reading and ranting.
I do have friends I care about albeit a small group, I care for them a lot.
I do touch grass, in fact there's grass, trees and farmlands surrounding our home so I think I have plenty.
No I don't go to parties, I prefer to read in a quiet nook.
Yes, I am single and I prefer to be that way.
Just because I'm single now and choose to be doesn't mean I'm an undesirable person.
And just because I'm not in a relationship doesn't mean I'm worth less than someone who is in one.
No, I don't want to write or draw my own work.
Yes, I know this is an 1llegal website but can't a fellow 1llegal website user talk about their opinion instead of sucking it up? after all, this is the Topic section.
Had my fair share of receiving comments on the internet and these are my responses. If I forgot any do let me know. Thank you kindly.
Just a stranger sharing their opinion online.

"Why can't MC have a happy ending?"
"Why can't MC be with someone?"
"Why can't MC find love?"

It's not that I don't like MC finding love. It's the repercussions that come along after. Oftentimes when romance comes along, things go a bit haywire.

Here are some of my examples. There are probably other people who can give a more coherent explanation but these are some I can think of at the top of my head.

In cases of action, the plot gets pushed aside in favor of dates and blushing pink background scenes. This sometimes encompasses a whole or multiple chapters. It's basically a filler chapter and as a human, I get fillers, staff need breaks. But when it gets dragged on? to the point it actually dimishes the plot?

In cases of shounen, they keep using the love interest as plot pushers and the way they do it is sometimes so dumb that its irritating. Moreover, some shounen (specifically harem) keep throwing women at MC left and right that it just feels so degrading like the women are accessories to brag about no matter how MC treats them. Whether it be indifference or simply "friendship". But we can read the undertones. Not to mention the male background characters' reactions are telling.

(Action and shounen most oftentimes go hand in hand too so double trouble)

In cases of shoujo, all those bland dorito men... sighhh I can't even say more because most of them, like the women in shounen are cookie cutter characters. Reverse harems too. So it's vice versa. This is getting too long I'll cut it short, Do better.

Maybe it's just me being salty? As I can see the romance havers still are majority and probably always will be.

Again have fun reading your millions of works to choose from romance havers. I am more than a bit salty that you all get to enjoy that many but that's just the norm I suppose? Gotta suck it up and filter out those fanservice as always.

Have fun reading everyone and if you've read this far on the rant, thank you.

You wrote all of that for an imaginary fight?

Yeah can't I? Not like it's criminal or anything?

I had fights on the internet plenty of times from a simple sentence speaking of my opinion anyway, so why not a whole essay?

I get that some people may be pissed that they don't like what someone else likes or feels called out by a topic but it's not like I insulted your mother (whether they be deceased or not)?

I said whether they be deceased or not because some people may answer "my (loved one) is d3ad" as a rebuttal. And if so, RIP to them. Just in case you want to ask. As for the censorship of the word d3ad, it's a preference.

And as for your comment it seems you have something meaningful to add on to my opinion? or will you make my imaginary fight come true?

To be that detailed, they must have had these arguments before. But I agree, romance is so pverused as plot points and pushers. I think that is why One Piece, Solo Leveling and Moonlight Journey Across Another World are so popular. Very little romance. Kill the Hero is finished and also has no romance if anyone wants to read!

Exactly in Bleach, there was literally an arc where Ichigo had to save that one orange-haired girl...in cases like that,,, it just derives the anime from the actually plot/achievement in the anime.


Same Thing in black clover,the little elf fairy that's with Yuno, there wasn't any need for romantic relations with those two characters.

It like when I read manga if watch anime and they aren't labeled as "romance" I kind of breathe a breathe of air, y'know. But as you continue, you'll just see tities bouncing and characters in weird and awkward situations.

So I get what you mean a lot @wilson. Its like when you don't expect genres like action, shonen, or Adventure to have the plot based on romanic relationship, it will just be there and you're over here just living through it..
