With the rise of "strong," kickbutt, don't-need-a-man FMCs, I feel left behind
Maybe it's my chronic pain condition, or b/c I've dreamed of love ever since I was a little girl. But I've been hungry for weak, scared FMCs who can't throw a punch, but fight anyway to find their HEA #booksky #romantasy

So, #HeatedRivalry decided to try its hand at the disposable Black gf trope 🙄😮💨
Here I was just trying to enjoy an MM sports romance only to get sucker punched by someone like me, once again, being used as a road bump in the way to non-Black characters' HEA. Fun. Great. Quirky #booksky #blackbooksky

How could that be problematic? How could that be counter-problematic?
