If We Want To Be Talked About

There are writers
who complain
the Romance genre
isn’t covered enough
by the media.
It is the largest genre
(depending on the stats provided)
and it should be mentioned
when other genres are mentioned.

But then, these same writers
complain when Romance is covered
by media
negatively,
when it is criticized.

We can’t have it
both ways.
Either we welcome media coverage
and we accept there will be
some negative coverage
or
we don’t accept
there will be negative coverage
and we don’t get media coverage.

This is true of all groups
and all demographics.

If we want to be talked about,
we have to accept
there will be negative talk.
