But if it's labelled gen and it has what I consider a reasonable amount of focus on romance/sex then I will be dissapointed if I was in a "gen" mood.
I don't think it makes sense to define a genre negatively, but that's not all that far from my definition, which also focuses on whether there's a focus on romance/sex rather than whether (what some consider to be noncanon) romance/sex exists at all within the universe of the fic.
if it's a good story I'll still read and enjoy it, and won't be all "OMG how dare you sully my canon with your icky non canon couple!!!!".
Yeah, it's that attitude that I can't really understand.
