Reply to comment by Traditional_Lead_97 in I just can’t with the forced romances in mysteries and thrillers! They are so ridiculous by ginnygrakie

Young male heavy demographic of Reddit most likely. Not that every young male dislikes romance, but they’re definitely more likely to.

It's still odd , in the romance sub reddit, even when most of us don't like non fiction or other genres, we never insult them or even bring them up . A book subreddit is supposed to be accepting of all genres , including romance since it's one of the oldest genres, older than sci-fi .

r/books is in the default subreddit list for new Redditors, though, so way more people read it than just book lovers.

To be clear, I’m not defending them, it’s shitty to act like that. I’m just explaining why.

Yeah i know , you may be right, i'd like to think that rather than to believe other readers are elitists and consider romance to not be a worthy genre , or a silly genre .
