       The conversation around these books is an interesting one. Female writers work under greater scrutiny of being inclusive and being inclusive "correctly." There are also concerns around age demographics and how they interact with "problematic" content.Books like these spurred the creation of a demographic term in between YA and General (adult) fiction called New Adult. The writing style and themes led some Romantasies to be marketed as YA, but the more graphic violence and sex upset parents of teen readers. None of the books involved, as far as I'm aware, were written by men. So male-targeted genre fiction was either never mismarketed as YA, or it was but no one cared. Male-oriented books with explicit sex scenes can also exist without being called "gooner books" because male-sexuality has been normalized.https://vexxed.org/o/Books/7881/romantasy-sexy-tales-of-women-centred-fantasy-fiction-are-boosting-the-publishin
