Man, WTF has happened to fandom in general? It's like it's been taken over by Stepford Wives.

Yes. Everything must be pure and healthy and happy and if that means fic is all a bunch of plotless after-school specials, so be it!

Sadly, this seems to be the state of fandom nowadays.

And the thing about quite a few of these fluffy fics? They're actually not depicting healthy relationships at all, but it's clear the writers don't recognize that. Stuff like one partner giving up everything for the designated pwecious fandom cinnamon and catering to their every whim. Or one partner who fandom sees as "problematic" being constantly denigrated by the fan fave and that's seen as appropriate and sassy. Or the damn trope where all sorts of interfering friends and relatives wreak havoc on someone's life and never ask for that person's consent and never respect their decisions but instead of a restraining order they get praised for being "supportive".

There's nothing wrong with writing sad or dysfunctional or whatever. There is something off-putting when it's clear it's meant to be happy and perfect, but the relationships depicted are actually really twisted and wrong but the author never noticed.
