Transcript by OP

I hate the possessive/'touch her and die' trope in romance.

I understand why some people would like it, but it's off-putting to me. I'd find it oppressive to be with someone like that.

I realize people can find things hot in fiction that they wouldn't want in real life, and I think people would take this as me being unable to separate fiction from real life - but I just don't find it hot either!

I agree! I also hate the "only ever truly loved one person, everyone else means nothing" trope for this reason! Your romantic partner can't and shouldn't be your whole world.

Worst canon version of this was in Fringe, where (due to universe merging shenanigans) Olivia gives up her memories of her sister and niece and other important people just to be in love with Peter and is happy about it. Urgh.

Everyone has different tastes. I hate it when it's m/f but love it when it's m/m.

Like, a big man being possessive over a small birdlike woman (she might be very strong/powerful/talented in some way but she's still so small, she's so small next to this giant man!), GROSS.

A couple who are unhinged about protecting each other, though? I love that.

I love this trope in fiction sorry-not-sorry lol. I just think it's super hot. But I also think soulmates and live only for you are super hot too.

IRL all of it is super gross though, no argument there.

To me it depends entirely on the characters and the dynamics of the particular ship. Like, a ship with a female character who has basically been forced into living life a certain way/a role/following someone's footsteps or has been treated badly by the people around her and she finds a partner who cares about her and wants what's best for HER and wants to keep everyone else from trying to meddle in her life? Chef's kiss.
