How you fail to see that the line of thinking you have below doesn’t also extend to the books youre trying to censor (while only relying on things youve read instead of actual interactions) is insane to me.
because those books are primarily written to be erotic fantasy! What are you talking about? Literally all the reviews about the “Court of Thorns” series is readers talking about the romance and spice. That’s the focus of the book. It’s not some high brow educational read. The frequent and commonly understood focus of the book is the sexy scenes and romances of the characters… that’s the book. The purpose of the narrative is to get readers to engage with the characters and sexual fanatasy…
LOTR doesn’t exists to be a series about violence and gore… it happens as a consequence of larger parts of the narrative, not the focus. Outside of those few instances where it exists, it isn’t glorified for pages on end to entice and excite the reader. It serves a literary purpose of progressing the larger story…
You HAVE to be making this argument in only the most extreme of bad faith. Like, willfully misrepresenting the narrative purpose of the books.
it’s literally not “because I (a single person) say so” it’s because “THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF THE READERS SAY SO”… what are you not understanding about this?
Every review about the book and the series includes discusions about the “spice” of the book. The fanbase clamours about the sex scenes in the book as a main topic. The book is listed in the genre of adult fantasy… It’s not “me” just making up a label… IT’S A FUCKING LABEL THE BOOK HAS FOR ITSELF.
are you trying to imply that because LOTR has violence, that it is a book primarily about killing and gore? What in the false equivalency bs is this?
LOTR also Hobbits smoking pipeweed. Is it also a book primarily about drug use and addiction? Is Harry Potter a sports series because quidditch?

Lmao once again, “these books are absolutely only this because i say so” isnt going to win you any points.
Talk about bad faith argument.
