So this advises "read a dumb romance novel" as one way to deal with the crisis going on, and it's kind of amazing that they're literally saying romance novels can be a lifeline in chaos but they HAVE to demean them to absolve themselves from acknowledging any value. https://twitter.com/Shape_Magazine/status/1277610275718549504

I'm not even mad. I'm fascinated that you could actually sit down and recognize that the combination of an anticipated ending (no shitty surprises), hope (yay happy endings), and dopamine (romance is paced to rock & roll) are POTENTIALLY SANITY SAVING...

And still call it dumb.

The need to signal to everyone else that you're not like, stupid enough to LIKE those books, is so overwhelming they literally wrote thar incoherent suggestion, but also bafflingly put guilty in scare quotes.

No quotes required, y'all are CLEARLY feeling guilty. That's sad.
