      .@jennygadget She's criticising romance tropes AS PRESENT IN OTHER GENRES and identifying a pattern. Why is this a problem?

      @fozmeadows @jennygadget Because they didn't originate within genre romance which is her framing.

      @eilatan @jennygadget She explicitly states she's talking about these tropes being common in other mediums, though?

      @fozmeadows @eilatan @jennygadget I super agree that the D-canoe thing needs criticism, but it's totally framed as The Province of Romance.

          I am all for snarking on Douchecanoe Chars mind you. But they aren't the entirety or romance nor did romance invent 'em.
