And do you deny that there's romance in it?
'Cause what I'm hearing is your description of satirical humor, a satire, otherwise known as comic tragedy. And if you can't deny there's romance in it then we, my friend, have seen (as you put it) a rom com. Albeit a demoralizing one full of self-deprecation. Hey, what better comic tragedy than comic tragedy that resonates within you? I can go into why the romance seems secondary in it as well but I don't want to spoil it for anybody who hasn't seen it yet.
