Quote:
"People base their whole lives on family and marriage, so the idea that romance and romantic dramas are not serious ... these are emotions that we're trying to get through to be happy, functional human beings, to procreate, and that is important. When I see people talking about romantic dramas or the genre like it's not worthy of being taken seriously, that's just sexism to me. That's just talking down to the female audience and not valuing them."
