Episode 24: Romance & Fantasy Tropes That Get a Bad Wrap

June 5, 2025

Danikka and Erin are back to tackle the tropes that readers love to hate (and no, not in a cute enemies-to-lovers kind of way). Today they’re asking the big questions: are the tropes actually bad, or are they just misunderstood? Are we tired of them because they’re overdone — or is it actually the work of three misogynistic raccoons in a trench coat?

From miscommunication meltdowns to the “not like the other girls” epidemic, they’re digging into why some tropes get all of the hate — and whether they deserve a redemption arc. Spoiler alert: it’s not always the trope that’s the problem.
