Not OP
(Anonymous) 2020-04-18 09:26 am (UTC)(link)Tangent: I'm friends with some romance writers, and they tell me Amazon is their best option (because their books almost exclusively sell in the Amazon Unlimited deal), so I buy their books for my Kindle app on the phone. Otherwise, I absolutely avoid Amazon because I loathe that company. I wonder if it's the best option for mm romance writers because buying these books with Amazon Unlimited means that they don't ever have to admit to anyone that they are spending money on mm romance and they don't have to defend their reading choices. Basically, husbands see Amazon Unlimited but not individual titles.
More tangent: I've been annoyed with how women's and girls' interests are always belittled and looked down upon. People always make fun of My Little Pony, of girl-horse and girl-friendships and romance stories. They're seen as stupid. Meanwhile, Transformers got a badass movie trilogy (with thin and ridiculous plots), and superhero franchises keep getting bigger - toxic masculinity abound. And people eat them up, analyze them until they seem a lot deeper, explain away any flaws.

(Anonymous) 2020-04-18 09:30 am (UTC)(link)"They" being the readers, not the writers. The readers can download these books as part of the Unlimited deal and no one ever has to know what they are reading. So no one can make fun of their choices or side-eye/judge/disapprove/take away their spending money. It's a sad fact that a lot of women still depend on other people's money.

(Anonymous) 2020-04-18 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)Yes, exactly. Like, in the fandom/slash world, yeah, it's well known that it's mostly women who are into m/m, but not in society at large. I think most people would find it pretty weird.
