i find it really strange that these romance novels, which contain graphic descriptions of sex and very often brutal acts of rape, not only have their own section in barnes and noble but can be found right of the register end caps at at least one target store near me. this is straight up pornography. and its being sold in tons of stores right in the open where kids can read it. its just very strange because 20 years ago im pretty sure target was not carrying graphic rape pornography. so now gambling is legal, sports betting, 10% of women are making porn and rape fantasies are being sold front and center in target. this feels like the biff future in back to the future.
Would the old-school alternative would have been any better? "This scene was a hot mess; I had one of our in-house ghost writers rework it. -Ed."
