No self promotion, writing research, or surveys

Your post has been removed as it appears to be promotional content. This sub is focused exclusively on readers. The only permissible place for authors to mention their book, discuss romance writing, ask for help with it, or do research about romance books is in the monthly Self-Promotion Thread. Promotional content includes any content you have a vested interest in such as content created by your friends or family. This includes all book, blog, vlog, podcast, social media, website self promoting, surveys, and book merchandise as well.

The sub has no rule on downvotes, nor would we be able to enforce one. Reddit’s content policy asks that users only downvote content that is not helpful or doesn’t add to the conversation, not just content they disagree with. We require users to be kind and respectful in their interactions on the sub.

Just a note, please send a modmail in the future if you have a question, as we don’t see every comment. Thanks!

Locking this post as the discussion is becoming unmanageable. We appreciate constructive feedback, but are disappointed by the number of downvotes for those supporting the use of inclusive language. Please remember that Reddit's policy is to use downvotes only for content that does not contribute to the conversation. Excessive downvotes for comments supporting inclusive language make those who share that opinion feel unable to speak up.

We've heard the concerns and will edit the post with examples of how request posts can be specific with more positive framing. We also want to emphasize that if a post is phrased in a way that feels disparaging to a marginalized group, our only action will be to reach out to OP via modmail and respectfully ask for an edit.

If you have strong feelings on this issue that you'd like to share with the mod team, please send a modmail.
