This might be me but –
If you're grown person (I mean 25+ ) and you read dark romance, romanticizing dark romance character with hope that you'll have a "love-story" like that character, but then when someone says they don't like that character you get offended.... sorry to break it to you but I think that's not right.
And I don't mean it in "I like ____" I mean it in you thinking that you're that character literally and protecting that character like it's something personal.
And no, I'm not saying you can't read dark romance,you read what you like, but protecting fictional character like it's yours literally is just wrong.
I'm tired of seeing people romanticizing Zade Meadows, girls saying they want to have stalker who is obsessed with them like he and boys saying they wanna act like him. I have never actually read Haunting Adeline, but I met some number or people who loves that book, from what I have heard tho book is horrifically bad (again I haven't read it!).
I heard that the character Zade Meadows is bad like bad bad.
But I met a person (not on here!) and they had in their bio that they love Zade Meadows,they texted me and conversation carried normally at first,normal small talk until we set on theme about books. They said that they had read Haunting Adeline and that they love Zade Meadows, on which I said that I HEARD book and character is just purely bad, but I as well asked their opinion on the book and why they like it so much.
The person got overly defensive and started calling me "weirdo" and "stupid" for not liking Zade Meadows, I was confused so I asked them why calling me names when I stated what I heard. They got even more worked up keep repeating that I'm weirdo until it started with much more offensive words (I'll not say them here cuz idk what are limits and I don't wanna get banned 🥲), and it ended with them using slurs and bringing up my looks.
Anyway,I ended that conversation with blocking them because I didn't wanna have contact with person like that, but what left me shocked is that a grown person in their nearly 30s get that offended by someone simply saying they don't like same character as them.
And once again you read what you like but getting offended by this is stupid.
Anyway if you read whole thing don't forget to stay hydrated and take care of yourself xo!

As someone who is 25+, it is worrying to see the trend of people over-identifying with characters and getting into actual conflict about them. In the end, we are just talking about the fictional world. Sorry this happened to you and hope your blog can encourage people (especially adults) to do better.

It's just highly immature of them to be acting that way especially if they're in nearly 30s, also it probably annoyed them that you stayed calm instead of blowing up at them so they started using slurs and bringing looks up which is just low. They should just grow up tbh.

It seems to me that if a grown-up doesn’t realise that someone else might not like what they do, and thinks that anyone who doesn’t like something is a bad person, then that’s rather childish in a negative sense and immature. It sounds harsh, but it’s true, should keep contact with people like that to a minimum.
What’s more, if discussion about personal preferences and the other person resorts to direct insults that have nothing to do with the conversation, such as appearance, it just shows they’ve run out of valid points to make and are simply throwing a silly tantrum. That’s not cool >:[
