When I first started reading on this site I think I was lucky... In addition to the usual porn movie scripts with people happily jumping in bed in various combos, I found authors like Dreamcloud, ScattySue, and Salish whose protagonists were good guys.
Lately I have hit a whole series of stories whose protagonists are self centered jerks. They react with anger (and sometimes violence) to anything that doesn't go their way, they stalk the objects of their desire rather than court them, and when somehow they get the girl they act callously and sometimes cruelly. The stories have me feeling angry and sometimes sick. These are not BDSM stories.
What really boggles my mind is that the authors seem to think they have created characters we should sympathize with and want to get the girl! I have even been running into this type of character in the Romance category. Please tell me what is going on. I am about to give up on this site.
