I'm just puzzled at where it's coming from in the first place. Like someone mentioning they like romance novels wouldn't draw this kind of criticism, unless they were saying that's all or most of what they read. No one blinks an eye if someone mentions they like crappy reality tv, but if they tell people it's all they ever watch then yeah some people will be like "seriously?" lol

I feel like we're missing some context here unless there are roving bands of people bashing on anyone that's ever enjoyed a romance novel

Eh, writers like Nicholas Sparks can be... exceedingly disdainful of genre romances.

The quoted comment is probably responding to someone like that.

Bold words from Nicholas Sparks.

Nah, someone mentioning they like romance novels would definitely draw the pretentious snots out of the woodwork. Hell, just sitting quietly reading a romance novel on your lunch break can draw the pretentious snots out of the woodwork, because romance novels are considered an acceptable genre to shit on, even though every genre in existence has its own vein of underbaked cookie-cutter pulp fiction.
