Was he being ironic?

Nope, he's just an idiot.
What I get from this is that fundamentally romance is a completely trash genre. Just the worst fucking dregs of literature. The proper response to his diatribe isn't to attack female romance writers LESS, it's to attack male romance writers MORE. All writers of romance should be ruthlessly hounded out of the writer community.
I wonder how much his own experience as a writer of popular trash novels informs his new found respect for other popular trash novels.
>people enjoy it so it can't be bad!

he's just a true pleb.
We get it, you don't read YA anymore, it's trash, good for fucking you, now stop making these threads

It's like rain on your wedding day

Nope. He is convinced that by taking this position he will be able to more attractive to the ladies. This is true for most of the cucks that buy into this.

You ever read The Sound of the Waves? I liked it.
The key to understanding his motivation for writing this wall of text lies within tweet #4 "we're ridiculing the enthusiasm people have for unironic lovestories.."
By defending Stephenie Meyer he's also defending himself because he too is an author of "unironic lovestories" that people love to criticize.
Very likely he and Meyer share reader demographics so he wants to calm them down.
He was right

who? also I never make fun of stuff I have not read/seen/etc I saw all twilight movies at least 3 times (one of them rifftrax) and its not a love story. its a boring girl version of "MC is a hero with a big dick and all the girls love him" story and unlike other female stories of its kind it did not even bother giving the girl token titles like being the world greatest assassin or something.
No, he is not. They are both horrible writers and their books are a cancer for the world of literature. I would have been surprised if he hadn't liked Twilight, honestly.
They're both terrible, but here, green is right. Feminists and numales like to read discrimination into angsty teenage romance novels when it just isnt there.

No he's posting that on purpose

I haven't really heard the argument that Twilight is discriminatory or misogynistic. I'm pretty sure people don't like it because it's poorly written and the movies are poorly directed and look like an episode of a crappy TV show despite having the budget of a summer blockbuster.

you're an idiot.
twilight, like all literature, is a look into the subconscious of the author. meyer's - or whatever her name is - just happens to be the product of extreme misogyny. i mean she's a fucking mormon dude..
