![]() ![]() Assuming every single gay man puts fashion on an alter is so stupidly stereotypical and I’m angry about it. I’ve always gotten subtle homophobic vibes from Hoover’s books, but on page 28 MC says “No gay man I know would have left the house looking like you do right now” and just the outright stereotyping and trying to use that to be funny is just gross.I know the romance genre is unrealistic because it’s mostly just womens’ wish fulfillment, but a straight, not unattractive guy swooping in to save a girl from a verbally abusive dad, buys her dinner, is a creative writing student, etc.? It doesn’t happen. WTTTFFFFF?!!!!!!!!!! this is so wrongly voyeuristic and completely fetishizes her scars. “I begin to mentally undress her, and not in a sexual way. Ě few paragraphs later he starts looking at her scars and he’s like “Are scarred, too? How much of her body is actually affected?” And I get that it might be a genuine curiosity to see her and wonder how much of her body is affected by the burns, bUT YOU CAN’T JUST ASK SOMEONE THAT OR BLATANTLY FANTASIZE ABOUT UNDRESSING THEM JUST TO SATISFY YOUR CURIOSITY ABOUT THEIR DISEASE OR SCARS!!! I literally don’t understand this. ![]() IT’S CHAPTER 2 AND YOU’RE ALREADY DICTATING HOW SHE SHOULD DRESS? OH MY FUCKING GOD I WANT TO TEAR THIS BOOK APART
