| E79: I Support Women’s Wrongs - Fandom and Readers Hate Unlikeable Women | 20 sept. 2026 | 01:11:30 | |
Show Notes: I don’t have to like her, I understand her. Adrie and Stitch tackle the "unlikable female character" discourse head-on, tracing how fandom, publishing, and film consistently punish women and female characters for the exact same flaws that make male anti-heroes and rough heroes beloved. Drawing on academic work — from A.W. Wheaton's concept of the "rough hero" to Adriana Clavel-Vázquez's writing on rough heroines and imaginative resistance — they dig into why audiences eagerly forgive murderers, rapists, and misogynists (Quagmire, Hannibal, Cyril, Lestat) while turning on women for being confident, passive, horny, traumatized, or simply present (Rhaenyra, Skyler White, Julia from Cowboy Bebop, Shuri). The conversation ranges from Jane Austen's Emma to Tyler Perry's Acrimony, from Game of Thrones fandom's selective outrage to K-drama villainesses, landing on the same conclusion every time: "I support women's rights" often stops right where "and wrongs" begins. Topics: unlikable female characters, rough heroes, anti-heroes, fandom double standards, protagonists, racialized double standards in fandom, Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, Hannibal, Cowboy Bebop, Marvel/MCU, K-drama, webtoons, villainesses, misogyny in pop culture, feminist media analysis, women’s wrongs Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

| E78: You're Not Gay Enough - Bisexuality, Sapphics, and WLW Erasure in Romance | 13 sept. 2026 | 01:06:56 | |
Show Notes: You can be bisexual, but only if you’ve never touched a man. Adrie and Stitch tackle the endless discourse around books "mismarketed" as sapphic when their bisexual leads also sleep with men. They break down what sapphic actually means, why bi women get treated as secretly straight (or not queer enough), and how "gold star" purity tests and political lesbianism collapse into transphobia. The conversation widens into heteropessimism, fandom's discomfort with femslash, the whiteness of biphobic discourse, and a eulogy-adjacent “discussion” of Gloria Steinem — before closing out with a stacked round of bisexual-lead romance recommendations. Topics: sapphic marketing, bisexual erasure, biphobia, gold star gays, political lesbianism, compulsory heterosexuality, heteropessimism, Achillean romance, M/M romance, WLW romance, Heated Rivalry, fandom shipping discourse, femslash, transphobia, How to Get Away With Murder, Annalise Keating, age-gap romance, white feminism, Gloria Steinem, poly romance, why choose romance, queer romance Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

| E77: My Opp, My Man - Dramione, Zutara, & the Enemies to Lovers Industrial Complex | 06 sept. 2026 | 01:22:50 | |
Show Notes: My man, my man, my man… is trying to kill me. Adrie and Stitch are joined by pop culture critic and video essayist Princess Weekes to dig into the enemies-to-lovers trope across anime, fanfic, and romance publishing. They trace their earliest ships (Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Dramione, SwanQueen), argue about what modern romance gets wrong when it "mismarkets" itself as enemies to lovers, and debate what actually makes the trope work — narrative overlap, ideological reconciliation, and real stakes, not just banter. Topics: enemies to lovers, rivals to lovers, fandom shipping wars, fanfiction, omegaverse, dark romance, erotica vs. romance, historical romance, second chance romance, anti-hero tropes, Dramione, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Zutara, Kataang, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Spuffy, Fuffy, fandom discourse, cancel culture, thought crimes, ASOIAF Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

| E76: What’s in a Name - Romance, Erotica, Fairy Porn, and Smut | 30 août 2026 | 01:19:13 | |
Show Notes: If I had a nickel for every time someone reduced the entirety of the romance genre to “smut,” I’d have enough money to be my own billionaire book boyfriend. Adrie and Stitch dig into the TikTok discourse around "smut," "fairy porn," and romantasy — a conversation that starts with why Adrie hates the word smut and ends with a rigorous taxonomy of romance, erotic romance, erotica, and pornography. Along the way, they trace the through line from Anthony Comstock's 19th-century censorship crusade to contemporary age-verification legislation, purity culture in fandom, and why women reading for pleasure has always made someone, somewhere, deeply uncomfortable. Topics: romance, erotic romance, erotica, pornography, romantasy, fantasy romance, dark romance, smut discourse, the Comstock Act, publishing censorship, age verification, KOSA, internet regulation, fandom purity culture, religious repression, women's literacy, feminist discourse, genre fiction Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

| E75: Girl That's the Whole Plot - How Romance Marketing Became Trope Soup | 23 août 2026 | 01:12:38 | |
Show Notes: Enemies to lovers, fake dating, one bed – go girl, give me… the entire story. Adrie and Stitch dive into the world of romance marketing — specifically, the increasingly common practice of selling books through exhaustive trope lists rather than traditional publishing shorthand. They trace how genre conventions evolved from Jane Austen to bodice rippers to the algorithm-driven Canva graphics flooding BookTok today, arguing that tropes are a powerful tool that authors and publishers are wielding with diminishing returns — and diminishing accuracy. Along the way, they unpack how societal shifts (birth control, women entering the workforce, divorce becoming normalized) have always driven the emergence of new romantic conventions, and why the current moment feels less like evolution and more like a race to the bottom of the SEO barrel. Topics: romance publishing history, trope marketing, SEO and algorithms, bodice rippers, category romance, Harlequin and Mills & Boon, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, only one bed, rivals to lovers, omegaverse, reverse harem, dark romance, mob and mafia romance, paranormal romance, YA romance, urban fantasy, transmigration romance, Korean webtoons, boys love, danmei, spoilers, fandom studies Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

| E74: Paging Inmate Baby Girl - Captivity and Kink in Dark Romance | 16 août 2026 | 01:34:08 | |
Show Notes: Everyone hates alpha-holes until the hero is a 7-foot tall, genetically modified war criminal being held captive in a secret underground lab. Content Warning: This episode includes frank discussions of dubious consent, non-consent, and other fraught power and relationship dynamics. Adrie and Stitch dive into the world of prison romance — a subgenre of romance and dark erotica centered on men (and occasionally other beings) who are deprived of liberty, whether in correctional facilities, medical institutions, or otherwise controlled environments. They're joined by licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist Andrew Pari, who has pioneered work closing the gap between kink/BDSM communities and clinical psychology, and who just finished writing a book chapter on consensual non-consent. Together, all three push back on the discourse around dark romance as uniquely harmful, arguing that women's rape fantasies are neither new nor dangerous — and that curiosity, not condemnation, is the real antidote. Topics: prison romance, institutionalization romance, dark romance, dark erotica, omegaverse, transmigration romance, Korean webtoons, boys love, dubcon, CNC, consensual non-consent, BDSM, caretaker romance, kink psychology, sexual trauma, rape fantasy, heteropessimism, feminist discourse, fandom studies Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

He is the creator of the concept of Curative Kink and has developed the first therapeutic model allowing for the re-experiencing of sexual trauma to create healing in an environment of safety and trust. A nationally recognized expert in trauma and sexualized violence, he’s developed sex trade policy and hosted worldwide online discussions on rape. He recently finished writing a chapter on Consensual Non-Consent for the first clinical textbook on Kink Psychotherapy. He adores his Russian Blue kitty, Finley, who keeps Andrew grounded in the important things in life.

| E73: Leave the Mask On - Why Romance Readers Love Masked Men | 09 août 2026 | 01:11:26 | |
Show Notes: Maybe he’s hiding emotional trauma, maybe it’s Maybelline. Stitch and Adrie dive into the world of masked man romance — a subgenre of dark romance and erotica centered on men (and occasionally other entities) who conceal their faces. Stitch, newly obsessed with the trope, breaks down its defining elements: the kinks involved (stalking, primal play, sex clubs, consensual non-consent), the recurring character archetypes, and the surprisingly vulnerable emotional cores hiding beneath all those balaclavas. Adrie brings a fresh perspective as someone less familiar with the subgenre, offering examples from adjacent tropes — including a hooded shadow creature from CM Nascosta and a masked alien king — while both hosts discuss how these fantasies connect to real cultural touchstones like Scream and Nightmare on Elm Street, and Nosferatu. They also push back on the discourse around dark romance as uniquely harmful, arguing that these fantasies are neither new nor dangerous. Topics: masked man romance, dark romance, dark erotica, horror romance, monster romance, alien romance, romantasy, fantasy romance, omegaverse, CNC, dubcon, primal play, stalker romance, slasher romance, masked men Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

| E72: Shameless Fandom - Ditching Guilty Pleasures and the Culture of Fan Shame | 02 août 2026 | 01:17:24 | |
Show Notes: I am a freak and I am proud. Why are so many fans hiding their AO3 bookmarks, running private accounts, and apologizing for what they love? In this episode of Pages & Prejudice, Stitch and Adrie Rose dig into the culture of shame, guilt, and fear that has taken over fandom spaces — and why it's making everyone miserable. Drawing on cultural anthropology, Ruth Benedict's guilt/shame/fear society framework, and years of firsthand fandom experience, they break down how anti-fandom, call-out culture, and the concept of "guilty pleasures" are pushing fans to hide, self-censor, and turn on each other. Topics: fanfiction, AO3, guilty pleasures, anti-fandom, dark ships, slash fiction, fandom culture, kink shaming, fandom shame, fan works, pro-ship, fandom discourse, kirk/spock Recommendations: Fanfic:

| E71: Second Chance Romance - Why Readers Love Love Stories About Trying Again | 26 juil. 2026 | 01:26:29 | |
Show Notes: Go forth and live your best trope! Adrie and Stitch sit down with Maggie North, Canadian author and anesthesiologist, to discuss her latest novel Fossil Feud — an almost second-chance, contemporary romance set against the world of citizen science and paleontology. They talk about the science and history baked into the book, why romance deserves more credit as an intellectual pursuit, what it means to write a protagonist who weaponizes her own rules to avoid being hurt again, and how a discipline built on unearthing the past became the perfect metaphor for love, grief, and the people we're always becoming. Fossil Feud comes out July 28, 2026! Topics: Maggie North, Fossil Feud, second chance romance, STEM, paleontology, Bone Wars, women's anger, complex female characters, heteropessimism, arrival fallacy, Jurassic Park Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

Adrie and guest Holly (anotherbadsalad) dig into the "manic pixie goth girl" — the pop culture archetype of the politically-charged, aesthetically-consumed goth girl in teen and animated media, and why her actual beliefs almost always get tossed aside in favor of her look. From Ally Sheedy's makeover in The Breakfast Club to Jane Lane vs. Daria, Marceline's emotional labor in Adventure Time, Debbie Hyman in American Dad, the Hex Girls, and the underrated Wendell & Wild — they trace how goth girls get fetishized, disposed, tied to trauma, and rarely allowed to just be. Plus: the racialization of goth aesthetics, the goth-to-supernatural pipeline, and why the Catholic Church is actually very goth.

Hosted by: Adrie Rose (@adrierising on bsky, twitter, instagram, & tiktok) Stitch (@stitch on bsky, @stitchmediamix on instagram) Leave room for Jesus, but it’s a 20 year old virgin on tiktok. Adrie and Stitch dig into how purity culture is making a comeback — not just from the religious right, but from within progressive fandom and online spaces — and why the result looks eerily similar from both ends of the political spectrum. They explore the "SVU-ification" of media, the rise of kink-shaming in fandom, why nuance is dead on the internet, and how algorithm-driven outrage is producing a generation that can't sit with discomfort — let alone articulate it. From discourse about problematic romance fiction and RPF, to the harassment of actors for being straight, to the hot takes on God of War's Begtse, this episode asks: are we actually protecting anyone, or are we just doing purity culture from the left? Topics: purity culture, fandom discourse, kink-shaming, consent language, SVU, romance fiction, RPF, problematic faves, fanfic, AO3, Heated Rivalry, and more. Reading Recommendations: Fiction:

Hosts Adrie and Stitch explore the history of the romance hero — from bodice-ripping pirates to soft cinnamon rolls — and why the sociopath anti-hero is making a loud, alarming comeback. Then they sit down with Ella Dawson (Rebel Ever After podcast, But How Are You Really?) to talk about why readers are drawn to these narratives, what the rise of dark romance says about hetero pessimism and the modern dating landscape, the genre collapse between erotica and romance, and why asking "why do you like what you like?" shouldn't be a threat.
