Why aren't other genres controversial?

RokofAges75:
How come romance is the only genre we ever really get into heated debates about around here?  What about the other genres?  How come none of them are as "controversial"?  Is that just the culture of the board again, or does no one have anything negative to say about drama, suspense, sci-fi, fantasy, comedy, etc.?

If you do, have at it!

Rose:
*runs in*

I love Sci-Fi!

(That's such an unpopular opinion in the BSB Fanfic Fandom.)

*runs out*

RokofAges75:
Well, I think sci-fi SUCKS!

LOL Just kidding.  I think sci-fi takes a lot of imagination and creativity.  Generally speaking, it's just too weird for me most of the time.  Like Mare with romance, I can do sci-fi outside of fanfic, but with the exception of maybe a couple of stories, I've never gotten into it as BSB fanfic.

Rose:
LOL :P I hate you!

(Like I could actually hate you...)

See, I adore it. It takes so much creativity and it pulls you into a whole new world. And it's even neater when the bromance we all love between the Boys being brought into that. :)

Mellz Bellz:
I think romance is the most controversial because of the fact that it's really the only genre that you either passionately hate or adore. Somehow I can't see myself going, "Man those fantasy stories really piss me off!" lol. Romance has a lot of controversial issues that I don't think are big factors in other genres such as the Mary Sue's and cliched plots and graphic sex scenes. I can't think of anything that could really be offensive in any other genres outside of some people just not being interested in them. Like Rose was just saying how she LOVES Sci-Fi yet I try to read it and I just start nodding off. It's just not my cup of tea.
