Re: another anon
(Anonymous) 2023-06-03 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)Fuck, yeah, that association would have me noping right the hell out too. Sorry, anon.
Knowing that someone will die if you don't return their feelings isn't romantic for me.
This is my least favorite part of the trope, honestly. The consent aspect doesn't squick me that much because I've typically seen it played as that the other character secretly returned their feelings all along. But obviously the broader implications for society at large are pretty horrifying. Plus, I do feel there's something flimsy and unsatisfying about taking a character right to death's door only to reveal that "Everything's fine actually, it's been reciprocal all along, they said 'I love you' and now the MC is fixed, yay."
3) this romantic notion that love is suffering. I find it awful and not appealing
Totally fair!
Personally if I can't have a gallon of angsty pining before my RST, then I don't want it, but that's just me. :P

(Anonymous) 2023-06-03 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)Consent issue is quite ironic in my case because I love sex pollen. Somehow I can ignore it's non-con... everything knowing that probably for fic reasons this people are going to be fine but horny. And still I can't ignore hanahaki. Maybe because it's part of world building or something.
I love angst but I don't like pining. So I prefer characters being all dramatic for non-romantic reasons. You can guess how enjoyable love flower disease is for me. :D :D
