”there’s like no romance in anything anymore”

Like I feel like the only way it’s possible to see no romance in modern fictional media is if someone gave you a curated list of aromantic media that you religiously stuck to

Also the show in question has already had at least two multi episode romance subplots so far.

person, wut

....the Little Mermaid remake JUST came out

... what

what are they watching?

I'm confused. did they wander in from another reality or something

romance is everywhere, even in stories that don't necessarily need romantic subplots

like are they bothered that specific romance tropes have fallen out of fashion because they're seen as more problematic now or

Alice : I’m pretty sure they’re basically mad that their preferred ship has been ambiguous in canon so now they are disingenuously claiming that there’s no romance anywhere because of “pseudo-critical internet people”

Gotcha!

fuck this person lol. One of my ships these days is super ambiguous and I love them for it

like. I ship it, but if word of god came out that they're just friends I'd be like "hell yes, platonic intimacy!"

This is my initial comment that they were responding to

ah yeah
