Fairy porn': is this booming erotica genre an insult to Wales?
Briefly

The fairy porn genre is a subcategory of high fantasy erotica, popularized on social media, which often borrows from Welsh mythology but misrepresents it.
Professor Dimitra Fimi, who lectures in fantasy literature, pointed out that fairy porn books cherry-pick Welsh mythology, leading to a simplistic and unrealistic portrayal of Wales.
The rise of fairy porn titles like A Court of Thorns and Roses reflects an interest in fantasy paired with eroticism but risks cultural appropriation and misrepresentation.
While these fairy porn novels appeal to a younger audience, their reliance on mythological tropes without cultural depth risks creating a one-dimensional image of Wales.
