Romantic Fiction, Reality Shaping and The Work

[Juba]

Final warning: do NOT read any of the Dark Romances. You should know enough about them by reading the Grok exchange to know that they will probably traumatize you. I was reading like a naturalist, looking for clues as to the psyches of the authors and readers so I was basically protected. But still, it was not pleasant.

Maybe writing an article about the dark and twisted romances on Substack could be a good idea. After all, they are a form of negative programming, especially if young people, like teenagers or even children, are reading them. I'm scared to think about what these kinds of books are doing to them and how they will affect them in the future. Are they going to be able to have a normal relationship or family?
