That's much worse then I thought, I'm sorry.

Yes. Why would anyone do that? Is it who you thought it would be?

Yes, but they didn't want to be seen as being part of that group, because it was culturally unacceptable. It was perceived as perverse. Which resulted in death, or jail, or being ostracized. If being gay was always accepted, and demonized, or treated as a perversion. Then men wouldn't have an issue with same-sex affection. Because being seen as gay wouldn't be a bad behaviour in society.

Yes, but greek wasn't the only ancient civilization, there were others, and there same sex relationships were a lot more equal, then power based. You also ignore the men and women that hid their same sex relationships.

Yes, humans are extremely easy to manipulate, and brainwash.

I understand exactly what you mean. You expect people to never voice a bad word about everything you enjoy, because it makes you feel bad. What part of that am I not understanding? 😀

If you like something, if you love something, like it with pride, love it with pride. Who cares what other people say, you can't demand someone not have an opinion or voice their opinion, because it hurts your feelings. If something makes you happy, why would you care what anyone else says or thinks? I have never understood that way of thinking.

Stop stamping your foot, and demanding that everyone has to agree with everything you think and say. You aren't two, and no they don't.

You're responsible for your feelings, if you feel bad because someone said Colleen Hoover is awful, that's on you. Because you don't think she is awful, and your opinion is the most important opinion to you. So why would it matter to you if other people think she is awful? You have zero power over someone else's thoughts, feelings, and words. You only have power over how you respond.

Enjoy whatever the hell you like, scream it from rooftops, how much you love it. I agree you should enjoy whatever you want. I'll support anyone who reads these abysmal books, and that seem to enjoy enjoy them. Ī

But, it's never going to hide the fact that she is just awful at being a writer. And, while there are massive amounts of people screaming from rooftops about this fantastic author, people who pick up the book, and are unable to read it due to how awful it is, are going to, as is their right, personal opinions and all that, scream right back at the people claiming it's so great, that it was absolutely bloody terrible.

Because they are. They are some of the worst books ever written. And, I frequently read AO3. Let that sink in, I read from people who write on AO3, and couldn't read more than two pages from Colleen Hoover.

I tell everyone I can how horrible her books are, because you should always have both sides being told, and while she has so many people blinded by the worst writing I've ever read, and singing her praises, people need to know about all the others who were struggling with bleeding brains after reading the awfulness of her stories.
