Huh. OP, you're reading some deep offense into this that I'm not really seeing. That post reads like it's response to a specific criticism from a specific source, i.e. "literary bros". You know. The guys who write literary fiction where women suffer and sound like the dudes on r/menwritingwomen, but it's considered High Art while romance is held in contempt by people who don't like that women enjoy reading fluffy, trope-filled fantasies. And the post itself doesn't say anything about every other genre besides romance being crap.

That's how I read it too. Romance fans and authors face a LOT of bullshit snobbery, and it sounds like a reaction to that. There's nothing in the Tumblr post that's putting other genres down really, just that they like romance best because they want to know there's going to be a happy ending.

But that doesn't make the actual argument the post makes any more valid.

What makes it invalid to you?
