      some hardcore YA readers are the type to be easily offended at any suggested that maybe the YA isn’t the highest form of fiction, and take it as a personal insult.

      tumblr was notorious for rants about how oppressed YA fiction was by those evil snobs who read adult genre fiction…

      i remember on reddit, repeatedly being told what an awful snob i was for saying I don’t read YA fiction and how I was discouraging reading by reading what I wanted to read… or something.
