Sure. And again, this position is outside of the norm for me. I wish all authors involved the best and may they all sell enough to live off their earnings.
But I still find it off-putting. Again, minstrel shows would be a good comparison for it. And I doubt you would defend them saying it's cool if it makes money.
And if you notice, I keep saying gay fiction. All gay fiction struggles to be seen due to the glut of gay romance novels written by soccer moms.
The Amazon list I linked to wasn't the best sellers in gay romance. It was the best sellers in gay fiction overall.
I'm not saying I have answers. Just pointing out problems.
