You don't think there's a little bit of a double standard there? Shows and fic both exist to entertain. I don't necessarily look for reality in either.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT Well no, not really. Fic has, for me, always been a romantic/sexual thing. For whatever reason, I only dig romance when it's about two guys. The pairings I go for tend to be guys in media who have complex relationships. Ergo, the fic I read tends to be about guys with complex relationships.

Media in general, I like a variety of characters and have no preferences.

[(Anonymous)]

DA - Preferences are not double standards. I hate romance in film format. HATE. I do not want to watch it in any way. I do not see any 'chemistry' and the moment it turns romantic I tend to lose interest in the entire show. Bleh.

I love romantic plotlines in writing, especially fanfic. I'm sure others are the same way. The stuff you like to read about in fanfic is sometimes the stuff you don't want in canon, and vice versa (which is one reason it seems like grimdark media seems to generate a significant amount of fluff, and fluff media generates grimdark fandom)

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, people have preferences. It becomes a double standard when they imply mainstream media has a moral or social responsibility to do what they won't do as writers.

And romance sucks equally in mainstream media and fic. It's almost always contrived and sickeningly melodramatic.

But the original post you replied to was about what someone enjoys in media, not some moral and social responsibility they think media should uphold.
