Oh ffs šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļøI mean, the woman canā€™t even keep her occupation drama and conflict-free. But this is exactly what Iā€™m saying. She canā€™t write a romcom because sheā€™s never had a happy, cute romantic relationship.

And to be clear: Iā€™m not criticizing her for possibly having had only abusive relationships in her life and becoming desensitized to it. But I am criticizing her for passing abuse off as simply ā€œenemies to loversā€ - except without them ever loving each other - for financial gain. Itā€™s okay to talk about abuse and express what it means to you, but it is not okay to pass it off as something itā€™s not and misrepresent the dynamic, possibly influencing readers who are in abusive relationships (and already vulnerable and impressionable) into thinking their situation is normal and just ā€œromantically tragic.ā€
