Emphasis on "guilty", but not necessarily pornographic or whatever. Things you like that you wouldn't go out of your way to tell people because they are childish, against your beliefs, silly, conspicuously not targeted toward your demographic, something you normally make fun of, whatever.

Princess movies for me. I'm against monarchy and bad princess role models for children, but fuuuuck I want to daydream about being told I'm a secretly a princess and going off to live in a beautiful castle and wearing beautiful gowns and riding beautiful horses etc

Still Shadowhunters. My favorite trash show.

Lately it's been British soaps. Other than that, sappy dumb Hallmark romance movies. Also rewatching beloved costume dramas like P&P and North & South. They may not have been a guilty pleasure the first couple of watches, but after the 30th....

Germany's Next Top Model *g*

I thought it was OK to like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, but none of my fandom friends like it, and my family deemed it as both childish and consumerist without giving it a chance. Woe.

I don't know that I have too many guilty pleasures. Plenty of things I don' tell my family I watch because they are rather conservative. But things I actually feel guilty about? I guess maybe some reality competitions. Some are outright awesome, but some like Top Model are more guilty pleasures. Also Grey's Anatomy because it is a genre I usually don't like. So soap opera. But I loved it anyway, though I stopped watching at the end of last season when my favorite character left.

Disney Junior shows.

They have fandoms and everything (? okay.) but I just enjoy them as something to pass the time. And I have much of the music saved to boot.

This is kind of difficult. The things I don't mention, I don't mention because I'm wary of others' reactions to it, not because I feel guilt about having the interest.

Cheesy 50s-60s horror/sci-fi movies.

This may or may not count, but I will watch shows/play games purely because I've heard they feature a gay couple. I will slog through shows I otherwise hate, if there is slash.

Excessively stupid internet content. If it's something like .gifs set to music, youtube anime abridged series, somethingawful photoshop phridays, homestarrunner.com... just the dumbest shit.

The rest of the known world is on social media all day but I'm looking at dumb memes in a corner lol. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE A PROFESSIONAL.

RPF. As entirely fictional based on public personae and without believing for one second there is any IRL basis for it; just enjoying thinking about shipping pretty people together.

But crazy tinhatters/conspiracy theorists ruin everything.

Tokusatsu. My family instantly assumes it means I like Power Rangers, and I've long given up trying to explain the difference between that and, say, Garo.

Tattoo reality shows. i don't have or want any ink myself, but will watch ANY trashy competition/studio drama/ugly tattoo fixing show i can. love me some amazing artistry, love me some awful Ink Master douchery

I watch one reality TV show despite how much I dislike the genre and sometimes soap operas draw me in also despite me disliking the genre.

I unironically enjoy "Bargain Hunt" and "Antiques Road Trip" (but not Flog It, because I have some standards.

Yaoi. It's the only thing that I am into that I will 100% never let anyone irl know that I am into.

this place has been my guilty pleasure for years <3

I know the creators are clueless at best and liars and manipulators at worst, but Ancient Aliens is still my guiltiest pleasure. I love seeing whatever crazy nonsense they come up with.

I still love Dilbert even though the artist is an alt-right nutter. :(

Christian or Amish romances; Debbie Macomber novels. Jan Karon's too.

I love reading fanfic about non-con/rape (but only if comfort is included afterwards). I've never been raped. I'm not coping.

I feel like a terrible person for enjoying it. I definitely want justice for every single person who has been raped. I don't condone rape.

Twilight, and to a lesser extent, New Moon. Mostly the movies, but also the books, a little bit.

Cruel Intentions. So many problems with this movie, mainly to do with coercive sex and slut shaming. But also, I'm pretty sure that the characterizations of the gay characters are...iffy at best? And yet, gorgeous, rich, mean young people scheming is so yummy.

The Vampire Diaries, mostly for Damon/Elena. I have no decent defense for this one. Damon is a murderer, and although the show doesn't acknowledge it or treat him like one, he's almost certainly a rapist as well. And yet...he's really hot and he and Elena have excellent chemistry. :(
