I feel a little silly sometimes, having this rant every so often. Especially since I imagine I'm talking to the choir here. But, it frustrates me so when otherwise intelligent people dismiss genre and claim that the writing is bad, simply because the subject matter differs from what they see as the norm. I find this especially objectionable when the people doing this are educators whose prejudices are being handed down to generation after generation of students.
